El Capitan - Idlewild

I don't really have a textwall this week? There isn't a great deal to say about this song. It's lovely and it's sad and it's a little bit self-indulgent but that's true of most songs these days and ain't that the truth. I don't know a damn thing about the band other than I quite like the name and I think they're Scottish. Does it matter? I don't think it matters.

All I remember from the Wikipedia article I read about 'em a while back when I found this song is that their early sound has been described as reminiscent of "a flight of stairs falling down a flight of stairs", and among their influences is listed a band simply known as "Gang of Four". I fail to see what else is to be said.

Here. (I still can't make the embed thing do what it's meant to do. The aforementioned button ain't here. This is not my problem.)
