Song of the Day: Discovery – Swing Tree

Discovery is the brainchild of Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend and Wesley Miles of Ra Ra Riot – although if I had to guess before I Googled, I would have put my money on a collaboration between Regina Spektor and MGMT, with their melding of effortless (and sometimes dolphin sound-esque) lyrics backed by some addictive indietronica.

In any case, it made me really happy when I learned that two artists from two of my favorite bands had collaborated and had created their own, entirely distinct and beautiful sound. Give “Swing Tree” off their 2009 LP album a listen.
