"Money Rain Down" by Big Black Delta

A Facebook friend posted the above video about a week ago and I immediately fell in love with this Talking Heads inspired electro-ballad. Starting off with some blips and bloops and adding layer upon layer of sound (I love me some sound layering) it essentially goes back and forth between two perfectly constructed verses that flow seamlessly together. During the first verse, when the groovy bassline and the horns kick in, it's immediately evident this is going to be some hooky goodness. The next verse slows things down with a beautiful melody and is a perfect complement to the first verse. Can't help but think David Byrne was channeled while composing this gem. WARNING: Big Black Delta's self-titled debut album is terrifyingly bad. Like, naked Oprah Winfrey terrifying. Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger and Jason combined terrifying. I'd rather listen to Skip Bayless talk about Tim Tebow for 24 hours or watch a Dane Cook "comedy special" than listen to this album again (didn't even try making it through the whole thing.) That being said, this one song is badass. Also, the video is truly beautiful.
