Song of The Day - Napoleon Solo by At The Drive-In

I've been posting a lot of electronic based music on here lately, so tonight I wanted to step back and post something I love that is decidedly different. During the majority of my high school years I was obsessed with Radiohead to a terrifying degree, but towards the end of my high school time a new challenger to my favorite band began to emerge in the form of At The Drive-In. Unfortunately they broke up almost as soon as I discovered them, but luckily they still had a good amount of older material to consume and as Sparta and The Mars Volta spun out of their breakup, I soon found myself pretty obsessed with their output.

Napoleon Solo has always stood out to me as a track that simply felt important. The lyrics are abstract as normal for them, but with a little research you'll find it was in tribute to two friends who passed away at 17 in a car accident. The song really shows off the intensity that can come from losing someone close to you. One of my favorites from an incredibly influential band in my life.
