Ghostland Observatory - "Sad Sad City"
I've shared this song before, but not yet on the #YearlongMixtape. Ghostland Observatory is a totally amazing and kinda weird electronic-rock band from Austin. I happened upon them by accident watching Austin City Limits on PBS in 2007. Another band that I wanted to see (Bloc Party) was on, but when I saw GLO, I thought, "WHAT IS HAPPENING? THIS IS THE COOLEST THING!!" And I immediately bought all of their albums.
I also had the pleasure of seeing them live a few years ago in Philly. They are not for everyone, but if you like interesting sounds, a killer laser show, and great energy, please check them out!
Here's a little documentary about them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMPI8jJXdHc
In fact, they're so cool that Chris Cornell covered this song! (in a more conventional, acoustic arrangement) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDv5lPwcw7E
