I've been a fan of The Hold Steady for a few years now. I was very excited to hear this song XMU (XM radio station) the other day. They have an interesting sound that is very unique and probably acquired for most. "Sequestered In Memphis" is the first single off of their latest album Stay Positive. If you can get passed the vocal styling (which is something I like), this is great song about a short lived relationship with a catchy melody that begs to be shouted along with. One of the many things I love about the lyrics are they are clever but not mystic, you don't need a PhD to figure them out. A stand out lyric is the chorus:
"In bar light she looked alright.
In daylight she looked desperate.
That's alright, I was desperate too."
Let me know what you think...
