Work Drugs :: "Third Wave"

Perhaps easily written off as chill-wave - and in this respect we can be somewhat relieved that 2010 and discussions of this nature are largely over because, in this case, it would be a mistake - Philadelphia's Work Drugs have a little cold medicine single, "Third Wave." Bouncing along on the back of a surprisingly urgent back beat, the song glows like a Washed Out joint, but at every moment of nodding off, of drifting through the curve and over the jersey barrier between us and oblivion, the snare snaps us back awake and away. This is surely not a mistake.
