The Crowd That I Want To Reach Is Out At Night
 
Douglas Armour "Fall Apart Again" - The character in "Fall Apart Again" is desperate to express himself to his partner, and trying very hard to get on the same page, but something isn't working. No matter what he says, he's left wondering if they even understand what he means, and if they've somehow gone reverted from sharing a close rapport to being little more than strangers in familiar bodies. You may expect a song with that theme to have a fairly anxious sound, but instead, the gently bouncy synth-pop groove and Armour's airy voice conveys a feeling of calmness and resignation, and maybe even a bit of optimism and relief, as if the singer is realizing this situation is really for the best.

Low Motion Disco "The Low Murderer Is Out At Night" - This is for stumbling around in the wee hours, or for being half-awake in the passenger seat of a car, watching neon signs and street lights pass by in abstractions of colors and lines. This is for passing out, and waking up and not knowing where you are. This is for being up to no good, but not actually doing anything wrong. (Click here to buy it via Low Motion Disco's MySpace page.)
