WIM-sical

Lately I've been frequenting the iTunes "free" section. I actually normally don't buy too much music on iTunes (cause it's so expensive and I rather have the CD and all the artwork and everything) but of course, the price of free is the lowest you can possibly get. I found WIM on there last week...And for once, I liked the free music that iTunes offered. I can't stop raving about the song "Something For You" - it's the perfect mix of pop and indie. WIM has a very unique aesthetic - I would describe it something like Coldplay meets Snow Patrol and all stirred together with some Florence + The Machine. WIM's music tends to be really easy going on the surface, but you can tell that they're something lurking right below the surface. Like in the song "Something For You" - there is the main really upbeat sounding part and then for a whole two minutes it's just some really haunting piano melody. It's truly very good. I've been listening to it on repeat and after a few listens, the beginning and end of the song sort of blurs because the first lyrics is the same as the last and after the last lyric is the piano part...It's sort of like there is no beginning or end. It's wonderful, really. From what I've seen on Youtube, they aren't too fantastic live, but hey, I still like the song.
