DAYDREAM VACATION 'Clever's Not My Best Excuse'
Kicking things off for Year TWO of Root Down in the Shadow, I'm bringing back the Song of the Week! Last Spring, I featured two in-depth posts with a look back at some 2010 music and the best 2011 music so far (both just happened to be FREE songs). I did mention other Songs Of the Week through out 2011, but it died out later in the year once I started hitting more concerts. I kinda owe a review of the rest of the best music found in 2011 soon, but for now, I couldn't wait any longer to talk about some music found already this year!
Here's the first installment of SONG OF THE WEEK. This week's track is from Daydream Vacation, which is an off-shoot of Head Like a Kite.
Stolen straight from the bio on daydreamvacationband.com, is a run-down of the previous collaborators new band:
"After a performance together at this year's Sasquatch Festival, Dave Einmo, mastermind behind Head Like A Kite and Asya of the band Smoosh are pleased to announce their new group Daydream Vacation.
Combining Head Like a Kite’s genre-bending-electro-party with Asya’s indie-dream-pop vocals, Daydream Vacation is currently mixing their debut album, expected out in Spring 2012.
Dave Einmo and Asya have known each other for several years. Einmo released the 1st Smoosh album on his small record label, Pattern 25, before Smoosh moved over to Barsuk (when Asya was only 14). Asya has appeared on tracks from multiple HLAK releases, and made rare live appearances.
As Dave and Asya discussed collaborating for a new HLAK single, the idea came up that they should create a new band, with Dave as the mad-scientist producer and multi-instumentalist and Asya as the lead vocalist. They took the band name Daydream Vacation from the title of one of the first songs they collaborated on together."
Being on the mailing list for the band and part of their Kickstarter campaign, I became aware of this new and fun video, 'Clever's Not My Best Excuse'.
Also on www.daydreamvacationband.com. is a download of another awesome single, 'That Girl Don't Sleep' if you sign up for their mailing list. It's been out for about 4 months now, so don't wait much longer before it is no longer available free.

Check out both songs and you will likely drop them into heavy rotation like I have! Be sure to check out the kickstarter campaing as they are very close to their goal!!
Head Like A Kite somehow didn't make my 2010 Free post (they had 'Director's Cut' available as a KEXP song of the day, although there is still a free concert performance via KEXP), but you really need to check out some of their stuff. I'd start with 'Director's Cut'! This radio worthy tune is a worthy addition of many best of's!
