Song of the Day 1/2: Bartees Strange, “Sober”
This is for El Somnambulo, and anyone else on Day 2 of their Dry January. Bartees Strange is one of his faves. I’m sure he’s this song already – it’s been in heavy rotation on WXPN since it dropped in November, in advance of a new album, “Horror,” coming out next month – but it takes on added meaning when you’re sober yourself. It’s a banger, but I doubt anyone would sing along with it in a bar.
Great song. It’ll be on my January songs list since the album didn’t drop in 2024.
I know your rules, and I didn’t think we should wait that long. I know you were into him before anybody, but this guy deserves a wider audience.
