Song of the Day: Plini - Heart

     It may be Monday, but I've got a song that should be just what the doctor ordered. It's not heavy, but it's got groove for days and a mellow, laid-back kinda vibe that's just the thing for winding down after a long Monday.



     Your song today is "Heart" by Australian one-man prog act Plini from last month's Other Things EP. As a classicist, I'm really hoping that the name Plini is an allusion to either of the scholars named Pliny from the ancient world. But as a music fan, I'm just hoping that Plini has more like this one squirreled away in his Aussie noggin. A little quirky, a little jazzy, and a lot cool, instrumental "Heart" is worth four minutes of your time. Everything, from the guitars to the percussion, strikes the perfect balance between sounding organically improvised and sounding meticulously crafted. I'm digging it more with every listen.
