Is today a happy day? Barring any firery wrecks, yes, very happy. Enjoy this awesome nu disco track from Scandinavian Todd Terje. It's more complex than it sounds like at first so give it a chance. Below is the description of the track by another blogger who probably knows more about music than I do so I won't try. This song was featured on NPR's song of the day blog a week or two ago, and was part of the reason I wanted to start a song of the day thing myself.
"...Terje steps out with a winning four-track EP titled It's the Arps — and it is, because all the music was made with a classic old ARP synthesizer. Terje's range and dynamism is on full display in Arps' lead track, "Inspector Norse," which starts with a cosmic whoosh before settling into a hopping little disco groove.
"At first, the track doesn't sound like much, but as it builds over nearly seven minutes, things coalesce neatly: The lead "piano" line begins meanderingly but soon settles into a fetching tune, and when it drops out about two and a half minutes in, a computery-sounding line that had been playing support steps into the limelight and steals the show. It crests and ebbs differently for the rest of its time, too, but that groove remains rock-solid, impossible to resist, and critical to what's already one of 2012's defining dance tracks." - Michaelangelo Matos
