The Virgins: "Love Is Colder Than Death"

A couple years ago, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah came up out of nowhere and got a lot of comparisons to the Talking Heads. I never thought that made much sense, and I think it makes even less when you compare them to some of last year's new New York band success stories -- the Virgins, Vampire Weekend and even White Rabbits, to a certain extent, have the sort of quasi-tropical guitar bounce that makes me think of "Life During Wartime" or "Once in a Lifetime." For the Virgins, I think this song exemplifies it most. Their sound is still a little thin, but I think we're going to hear some ambitious growth from them.
