You should all know by now that I like it when there's a common theme connecting my Song of the Day posts together. Even if this connecting thread is so thin as to be practically non-existent, I derive a certain dorky pleasure from its mere existence.
Lucky for me then (and you too!) that this song has a nice chunky connection to "yesterday's". Before fully setting out with his more-or-less solo project The Dear Hunter, Casey Crescenzo was in an emo/screamo/post-hardcore-type outfit called The Receiving End of Sirens. Casey's time with the band was somewhat short-lived, ending when he left the band in 2006 (temporarily -- he wasn't done with TREOS yet...) to dedicate his full attention to The Dear Hunter project, but it did produce a pretty classic album from my younger years.
Your Sunday song is therefore a track from said album by The Receiving End of Sirens, Between the Heart and the Synapse. "The Rival Cycle" is a pretty decent representation of what TREOS is all about. It is, like I said, what might politely be called "post-hardcore" these days, by which I mean it could be a little "emo" sounding for the trooest of metalheads, but there's no eyeliner or anything here so don't let that whiff of something you think is bad dissuade you from checking out "The Rival Cycle".
