[A] few weeks ago, Thao & the Get Down Stay Down released this wonderful track to stream via youtube. And thank the lord, they’ve given it to us as a downloadable, so grab a copy of “Holy Roller,” off their upcoming third full-length album, We The Common. “Holy Roller,” was the first song written for the new record recalls frontwoman Thao Nguyen & notes that the track “was the first song I wrote for this new record…it marked a shift in how I operate. I was steadily, in an overdue way, becoming grateful for everything and everyone I had. I tried to capture a sense of revival and a determination to be better.” I’m really looking forward to grabbing this record, come February.
