Karen O‘s style is an acquired taste not everyone will be into. Shit, I remember playing “The Moon Song” in the car on shuffle accidentally and people asking what the hell was on. And not in such a pleasurable way.
Karen continues with more of the same for Crush Songs, low quality-sounding tracks that only feature a guitar and her vocals and were recorded around 2006-2007. And don’t worry, “Day Go By” sounds like that on purpose, it’s not your speakers. So if you want to wear bell bottoms and a loose flowery shirt for the day and skip around a field barefoot, this one goes out to you.
Crush Songs drops in stores and in digital formats on September 9.
