Spankin' New Go! Team Track (Plus One)Spankin' New Go! Team Track (Plus One)
Swedish label Rico just released a limited edition (count 20) CD-R between Nicolas Makelberge and The Go! Team (which sold out within 24 hours but is still on sale as a digital download.)
The Go! Team's "Western Song" is a summery, poppy instrumental track with those Oooo-ing's you can hum along to. And since it's winter in Australia, I'll balance things out with an instrumental track titled "The Ice Storm" from their Australian Tour EP from 2005.
I saw them perform at last year's Pitchfork Fest in Chicago and it was the highlight of my weekend. If their music doesn't make you want to go slip-n-slide with your friends (after eating snowcones that have made all your mouths cherry-red) then you're hopeless.
