Saturday: Outrun the Sunlight - Spirit

     We're going to keep the more or less instrumental good times going tonight with another slice of lyricless goodness. Since this is the first track to be released from this band's upcoming album, I can't promise you things will stay this instrumental, but based on this track I wouldn't be too upset if they do.

     Listening to Outrun the Sunlight's "Spirit" definitely gives the impression that, fully instrumental album or not, this song is a kind of transition from one place to another. It has a feeling of building up that sounds like it's going somewhere good. Things start out a little moodier and more atmospheric before giving way to some djenty riffing that carries through the rest of the track and provides a bed for some melodic leadwork.

     I don't know if the rest of the band's upcoming Terrapin will be like this, or how this track fits into the rest of the album, but you can mark me down as intrigued on this one.
