Mona Lisa - Atlas Sound

Mona Lisa - Atlas Sound
3:05
Parallax, 2011
Written by Bradford Cox

A melancholy, lo-fi indie pop song, with high, ethereal vocals, piano, and gentle guitar.  It's a soft, ambient kind of sound, with hints of the Kinks in its yearning vibe.  The lyrics are rather abstruse.  "How many poverties / Were interrupted by / Learning how to read," Cox asks, then adds helpfully, "Mona Lisa's got you all."  This kind of shoe-gazing, swirling guitar sound isn't my cup of tea, but it's well done.
