The Useless Critic 2.0

My official favorite song for the beginning of 2019 belongs to noneother than White Lies, who have become a formidable force on their own. This song is what young folks call "a banger" - well, not in the traditional way. It's more anthemic than anything, but it's a lot more danceable than the brooding White Lies of a decade ago.  Also, the end of this video vaguely reminds me of "Mourning Sound" by Grizzly Bear:

So I don't get a chance to post about music made by another member of the LGBTQIA community very often, but Jaimie Wilson recently released this track - which is a duet with him and himself pre-gender transition.  It's a nice folk song, and a super cute video, too. Also, what better way to kick off the New Year on the 10th year of The Useless Critic? See ya with more content soon- Britt
