Replicate — Fanfarlo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZT2M3YM3PA

This music is candy. This is music designed to be new, with new sounds and unusual instruments: the lyrics aren't dated or even specific, the repetition leads you deeper into the song until it builds and breaks into two dueling string parts; the song is built on dynamics, the addition of unusual instruments; it swells and sweeps and carries you along with it. It's pivotal. In that sense, it's very traditional pop music: music that defines itself as new and different and consuming is pop. Replicate wants to be your anthem, but won't outright tell you what to do. It shirks and shrinks and shambles around being decisive or strong. It's orchestral and indecisive: perfect for thinking, but not as good for doing.
