Ants From Up There by Black Country New Road

'Basketball Shoes'

You know a closing song is good when it takes up an entire side.

In all seriousness, this is my favorite album of all time, thanks in part to this song. Before this album, my memory of music was extremely limited and reserved to music on the radio, The Weeknd, Low Roar, and Joji, no disrespect to the named artists and bands. Without this song and Haldern, I would not have gone back to listening to this record. Thank god, I did because it opened up to listening to other bands in the Windmill scene, which was about to hit its peak again with black midi's 'Hellfire.' These were the bands I was listening to for the whole year and being there to see their transformation in real-time was incredible.
