Written by Les Savy Fav, I guess?

I had never heard of this art-rock clanging-guitar-punk post-hardcore bearded madmen, but saw their name, in connection with the Hold Steady somehow, and was intrigued.  The dreamscape lyrics seem to describe two members of a conflict, facing impending doom;  Maybe a carpe diem cri de coeur ("If we get lucky, we'll be dead by dawn / So let's get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get it on!").  Lead singer Tim Harrington shouts his heart out, like a less hoarse Patrick Stickles.
