Humans should always be appreciative of how lucky they are to have pop music, with its ability to lift spirits and create invisible suns of hope – even in the middle of this insane NYC winter. Today, pop music itself didn’t shy away from reminding us of this, when a few minutes ago it unexpectedly showed up in our speakers in the shape of this gem by lo-fi Brooklyn band Baifan, entitled "Running in Slow Motion." A few carefully chosen chords and an airy melody neutralize the grittiness of the recordings, while a wailing, distorted guitar note, following the alternating chords, adds that droney element that’s always a plus for true indie addicts. They’ll be playing at Silent Barn tomorrow (02.10) on a bill put together by 1989 Recordings, check them out!
