I love how quarky their music is, but this is done with a little more commercial flare to expand into a broader audience... which I'm all about... the more people who become acquainted with this band the better!
The more I listen to this song the more I appreciate it. That being said, I feel like it's a departure from their earlier work. I love them for fumble, like a call, the owls go and heart it races. This song has moments that connect to their earlier work but it's still too different for me.
indies/hipster are funny people,"ohh its going to be on the fm ohhh fml" sooooo sad. I was listening to alternitive music before hipster fags stole and renamed the genre to indie music. HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW!!!
Youtube snobs say awesome song is bad for being '80s' based on the grounds that they use analog synthesizers. Go pretend to know about music on a bad video.
His criticism is still a fair point, a lot of indie bands seem stuck in a rut of nostalgia for the 80's. For an age group that are too young to remember the 80's. I'm sure in 10 years we'll have indie bands making throwbacks to the 90's.
Brilliantly typical AIH. Funky song with tones of cool. Love the guitar part there. Also, the chorus feels just a little like Adam Young, but of course hies work isn't this catchy.
@guttercow LOL if Triple J was mainstream they'd be playing crap like Kesha or Rebecca Black. If it was mainstream they wouldn't go from a song like this to screamo. :3
This song is HUGE. If it doesn't get corresponding airplay, it's just because the band hasn't written 1 song even CLOSE to this. HUUUUUUGE HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE
@aussiepalti Yea, well I read a couple of things saying that they were but not in exact terms so i wasn't sure. And this song is sung by a guy, to a guy lol. Still an awesome song :D
"your magic's to blame" "busy doing nothing" "infatuation with the love that's in the air" "world roman to the bone _(??)_ encircling me" "lost in the ether with no one to blame" second line of chorus "contact high, I'm done leaving if we can try"
I saw them live in a warehouse in Brunswick about 5 years ago, and I am kicking myself now because this song wasn't around yet. Must see them again now. So good.
@robotfantasy Yes that was it! You didn't like Yacht? I thought he was alright. I was 15 at the time, though. And haven't heard his stuff since that night.
As much as I love AIH, which is a lot, I can't help but fell as though Contact High isn't as good as their other songs, I hope that the rest of the album is better and not like Gloves for Operator Please, while it was good it didn't measure up to Yes Yes Vindictive.
sounds like tim and jean...

Four-letter words won't hold any sway
Here in a paradise that shakes the world romantic to the bone
