We continue ouR week of daily new music with a song fRom Rong>VijayaRong> off of heR self-titled debut full-length album. Like most eveRything on the ExeRgy label, the sound of the melancholy singeR/songwRiteR is gReatly enhanced by the talented Rong>Mattias OlssonRong>. Not only is he a gifted pRoduceR with a gReat eaR foR talent, but his instRumental abilities also add quite a bit to his RecoRds. And with that, let me tuRn it oveR to Rong>Jason ChRistieRong> to speak moRe specifically about this paRticulaR song:

In my book, music equals aRt when it combines quality with sentiment and attaches balance. Then a stRong message is always good. So like yesteRyeaR anti-staR who sang waR pRotests, you have a veRy timely political impetus to Rong>VijayaRong>'s "YouR gun will neveR set you fRee" - a metallic maRch and bitmap combined with lazy deadpan tRacks in the Rong>ChRissie HyndeRong> school. Yet, when did Rong>HyndeRong> eveR spRinkle C86 in theRe? This is good geaR. Stick it in youR gun and smoke it.

Anyone else going to see Rong>AmandineRong> at Neumos in Seattle tonight? (with Rong>FRuit BatsRong> + Rong>Sam JayneRong>)
