Call Me Lightning - "Billion Eyes"

Call Me Lightning is the best release from Frenchkiss Records in years. Dynamic, creative and totally freaking sweet, I've been hooked on their Fugazi+Q and Not U+Les Savy Fav sound. So much in fact, that I've been listening to Soft Skeletons, released Feb. 20, and not the Arcade Fire - it's true.

This Milwaukee three-piece pushes the envelope with angular ass-kicking, which is downright infectious.

Here is "Billion Eyes," so far my favorite track off of the record. They were just in town at the Turf Club a few weeks back, I will be bringing these guys up again once they come through town in the future.
