if there's one thing stopping me now, it's my heart in my mouth

sometime towards the middle of last month, Bis made their last song available for download. it's called "Today of All Days," and not particularly surprisingly, it's quite good.

it seems to have a similar sort of carefully channelled frustration and restraint as much of Return to Central did, and which seems to be an earmark of later-era Bis recordings. danceable dejection at its finest, and really not a bad note at all to end Bis on. lyrically more cohesive than many things they've done, as well. i wouldn't say it's their best song ever, but it's far from their worst. wonder when it was written, though---it's entirely possible that it's just circumstance making me feel this way, but it really does feel like it was written specifically as a bittersweet farewell.

download it if you've got the time and are interested.

(this review written entirely without use of the word "electro." really, it can be done! XD)
