Our Track Of The Day today is smoking hot.
Jesse Keeler and Sebastien Grainger are Death From Above and they’ve just dropped an incredible album Outrage! Is Now on 8th September. Third on the album is “Caught Up”.
“Caught Up” is sex-fused guitar grittiness and darkness. Flirtatious riffs and confidently strutting drums are wingmen to a lyrical tête-à-tête. It’s a quest to be let into the world of another and inviting them to lose their inhibitions together, while still maintaining some sense of self-respect.

He asks to be shown what’s in her heart and in her head, wanting to stretch the way she thinks. The reality of life feels heavy to him, but she seems like the antidote and he wants to lose himself in her.

It’s a love/lust-hate relationship which takes effort for him to pull himself out of and make sure he’s not a loser that’s so caught up in her.
It’s brilliantly done and the clarity of sound is incredible. Listen:
