The sun is shining (almost), the world is lightening and thawing for Spring and the finest soundtrack I've found so far this year is Papa's glistening, riff-laden I am The Lion King. Coming on like Modest Mouse's brilliant Float On, I am The Lion King oozes Californian insouciance (Papa are indeed Californian and are led by Girls drummer Darren Weiss), and romantic intent ("I want to give you my number..."), all blasted out in a strident Springsteen FM radio sheen. A shaft of sunlight in a dreary old week.
I Am The Lion King by Papa - listen on Spotify here.
PS - I've been told the St Lucia remix of this song is excellent. It doesn't seem to be on Spotify yet but hunt it down!
