Daniel James - Whiskey

2. CIGARETTES

Please "heart" on Hype Machine: http://awe.sm/dKUEK

Golden Coast's sophomore release is the quintessential summer anthem for anyone who ever uttered the words "college is for lemmings." Hot on the heels of July's breakout debut, "Dream And An MPC" (an MPC is an early 90's beat-making machine) is this generation's echo of the Pink Floyd sentiment to break the societal mold and be yourself, aptly summed up in the chorus lyric: "We don't need no education to be; all we need is a dream and an MPC."  The infectious opening synth hook sets the perfect tone for a cascade of indie pop goodness to follow that will have you dancing throughout and leave you thirsty for more.

LYRICS:
Mama told you to live your dream
But daddy said university
So you became an afflicted teen 
Your soul addicted to apathy

Tried to get you to do your thing
But you were busy with self relief
Sat inside by yourself all day
Maybe you're better alone that way
I say

We don't need no education to be
All we need is a dream and an MPC 
So set aside the rhetoric and be free
All we need is a dream and an MPC

Things would never have worked that way
You tell yourself all alone each day
So you will not have to face the fray
But deep inside you it eats away

You were meant for another time
When a 4 year bachelor would do just fine
But you would never have crossed that line 
Don't kid yourself, you're a paradigm

Keep your vertigo
It's all you need to know
Don't let that feeling go
Hold on now, hold on
