We really like Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin around here. They're poppy, thoughtful and fun. And now they've written a song for their local minor league baseball team, the Springfield Cardinals. This reminds me of a strange turn of events where The Shout Out Louds "The Comeback" was being played during the late-innings of Cincinnati Reds games. This is true. You can ask someone.
Is baseball the final frontier for indie rock? Doubtful - but this is certainly a step in an earnest direction. This song isn't paying ironic respect to someone. This song isn't heavily influenced by something intentionally kitschy. It's meant to be played at a minor league baseball stadium. And it's meant to be chanted and sung along with. Really. Check the soaring keys and the no-nonsense bass drum. This is built for consumption on a level not exceeding 5,000 people on a summer night in the midwest of the United States of America. It just is.
