Despite my attempts to make sure I don’t overdo the Canadian connection here, I couldn’t help but have another Canadian song this week. There’s been so much talk lately about the new Said the Whale single, “Lines” coming relatively close on the heels of their documentary Winning America, I’ve been on a Said the Whale kick lately…..
Heaviest on the rotation? ”Camilo (The Magician)”. What can I say about this song? The song is fun, the guitar is great. Much like last week’s pick, this is on my “Chair Dance” playlist for work–the kind of upbeat song that reenergizes a slow day and has me bobbing my head and tapping my feet. If I weren’t in an open cube farm, there might even be air-guitar.
And Camilo is similar to Cammy.
If you’ve not given Said the Whale a try and you like a solid pop-rock song, “Camilo” is a great starting point (then try the new one “Lines”). You can try it out at Said the Whale’s Band Camp page (see below), or, as usual, on CBC Radio 3.
