#8: Ra Ra Riot — “Ghost Under Rocks”

Everything about Ra Ra Riot is tinged by the tragedy that hit the band in mid-2007. That tragedy and the band’s perseverance are everywhere on Ra Ra Riot’s first full-length album The Rhumb Line. The best track off the album, one that represents the best parts of Ra Ra Riot’s sound (the strings, the pushing drums, the unconventional vocals), is also one that is so the most obviously influenced by the loss of their bandmate.

It’s good.
