This song is amazing. Norway's Kings of Convenience have quietly silk-wormed their way into thousands of people's quiet lives over the last few years, and this - opening track to 2004 record 'Riot On An Empty Street' - is the perfect example of their intricately crafted guitar work with subtle, cautious harmonies reminiscent of Simon & Garfunkel's more contemplative moments. Unlike some of the songs that follow on the album, this isn't the kind of thing you'd stick on at a party (unless you wanted to quieten/kill the mood), but vinyl it up with the girl/boy you met on the train or just lie back and fall apart between your headphones. It goes incredibly well with those green apples too.
