Song of the Next Few Days or Weeks

I discovered my next song-of-the-next-few-days-or-weeks tonight while working on my Summer Jams mix.

It's called "Casual" from Here We Go Magic. I've had their latest album for a couple months, but I've never really given it a fair listen. I remembered seeing something about this song on Pitchfork recently so I decided to given it a spin tonight. It was well worth my time, each of the five or so times I've listened to it tonight. Not many songs are capable of embodying exactly what their title and lyrics suggest, but this song's title and chorus are so perfectly melded with the melody and instrumentation. It's really quite stunning.

Look for it on my forthcoming Summer Jams mix or head over to Pitchfork to give it a listen.
