Lovely laidback pop song with the vocalist from SBTRKT's 'Wildfire', up at RCRDLBL.

A lovely laidback pop song, that stands up well to a zillion repeat listens. Lyrics suggest a song of lost love, but you tell me what "Phantom legs and blinking pigs / Haunting me" is all about. I suppose you could point to the fact the lyrics are from an EFL speaker, but it's always more romantic to not put weird lyrics down to translation issues.

This track's from the 2nd album from Swedish band Little Dragon, which came out in 2009. Their 3rd album came out last year, and the singer subsequently recorded tracks with a whole bunch of bods.  A lot of their stuff I find competent but boring, however I love this track.
