Racing Mount Pleasant are back. Today the Band To Watch alumni, now firmly planted in Chicago, released their new single "Great Destroyer." It's great! It destroys!
RMP's latest is a buoyant, swelling, orchestrally infused post-rock pop song — hooky and accessible and even a little twee, but epic in its ambitions. It makes me feel like it's 2003 and my Sufjan Stevens' Michigan CD somehow merged with my Broken Social Scene You Forgot It In People CD. "Fire turns to water," goes the grand group singalong. "Burning buildings/ The great destroyer."
Listen below, and keep your ear to the ground for more new Racing Mount Pleasant music in the coming months.
