Song title: Sleep
Artist: The Dandy Warhols
Year: 2000
Why I like this song:
The Dandy Warhols are an oddity to me. At their best, they can churn out great pop songs with plenty of hooks and tons of snark. At their worst, they produce songs that come across as either meandering or not being fully realised beyond the first draft.
But, as this song demonstrates, they can do atmospheric really well. It is indeed a simple song but the effects and the hypnotic nature utilized here works wonders. It's dreamy and haunting both at the same time which is not an easy trick to pull off in a pop song
