Song(s) of the week

This week’s pick:
“Undertow” by Warpaint
Where I found Warpaint: I actually have no idea. This was just one of those songs I had hanging around in the archives, but it does sound like something I would have picked out of a TV show, probably Grey’s Anatomy. Say what you want about the story on that show, it’s almost worth watching just for the music.
What I like: It’s a very subdued vocal performance but even the slight changes in voice from verse to chorus create an infinitely catchy hook that loops in and out throughout the song. I also love the way the band continuously messes with the arrangement to keep things fresh. The song may feel fairly low key, but it never gets boring.
Undertow - Warpaint
