  • There was no contest when Charly Bliss was picking a song to cover from our 25-song list: The power-pop four-piece knew as soon as it saw Len’s one-hit wonder “Steal My Sunshine” on the remaining list. The song is bright and effervescent-a prototypical summer song that works effortlessly with Bliss’ brand of energetic ’90s fuzz-rock, and they bring new energy to the typically laid-back track.

    There's no contest they are right. It's fresh. You can tell a hard working band, and you can't just pull this one off. Love the cryptic soul crew Len album. Live in Manhattan but Brooklyn bound to see these guys. Few bands have talent these days, what a breath of fresh air.

    I've been listening to AV CLub covers on and off for a few years now and wow, this is the first one that has ever immediately blown me away, without having to quantify it to something. This mix is just so perfect. I had never heard of this band before, but they nailed it more than any other known quantity that has ever passed the bill. Congrats.

      At times I hear echoes of Kathleen Hanna from Bikini Kill or Kim Deal from the Pixies in her vocals, and those are the moments that save the vocals for me. I love the conversion from pop to power pop, though, from a musical standpoint, and the energy of the band... so it's too bad the vocals are so challenging.

    Lyric ~ Len - Steal my Sunshine
    I was lying on the grass on Sunday morning of last week
    Indulging in my self defeat
    My mind was thugged all laced and bugged all twisted wrong and beat
    A comfortable three feet deep
    Now the fuzzy stare from not being there on a confusing morning weak
    Impaired my tribal lunar speak
    And of course you can't become if you only say what you would have done
    So I missed a million miles of fun
    I know it's up for me
    If you steal my sunshine
    Making sure I'm not in too deep
    If you steal my sunshine
    Keeping versed and on my feet
    Check, c'mere c'mere, c'mere
    Wow, look at her
    I know
    I've never seen Sharon look so bad before
    I did once before, but this is pretty bad
    Yeah, what do you think she got up to last night?
    Ha ha ha
    Well, I, Karen I love you
    I was lying on the bench slide in the park across the street
    L-a-t-e-are that week
    My sticky paws were in to making straws out of big fat slurpy treats
    An incredible eight foot heap
    Now the funny glare to pay a gleaming tare in a staring under heat
    Involved an under usual feet
    And I'm not only among but I invite who I want to come
    So I missed a million miles of fun
    I know it's up for me
    If you steal my sunshine
    Making sure I'm not in too deep
    If you steal my sunshine
    Keeping versed and on my feet
    I know it's done for me
    If you steal my sunshine
    Not as some and hard to see
    If you steal my sunshine
    Keeping dumb and built to beat
    If you steal my sunshine
    My sunshine
    If you steal my sunshine

    • @semiophile
      @semiophile 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think with the rock/electric guitar arrangements, it feels quite relentless, and doesn't lend to much dynamic range. BUT I just bought their Guppy album today, and it's been one of my best purchases of 2018 (and perhaps even 2017). Their songs are so tight, and there are no wasted chords or bars.

    2:45 onwards is so fucking great. Love their energy. I honestly think this is better than the original

      totally agree. me and my buds cover songs all the time and when in doubt, on the final chorus, 'punk it up'.. always sounds good

      True, plus they didn't even have to steal the More, More, More, Andrea True Connection sample!

    If you averaged together the brother and sister from Len you would probably end up with this girl's voice lol. Probably painful as hell to sing like that for too long. I dig it.
