[Over these last few days of 2010, we'll be
presenting our
favorite local songs of the year, counting down from No. 25 to No. 1,
one track a day. Today, we take an in-depth look at song No. 3 on the
list -- and, please, feel free to click after the jump for a free download of the track. Also
after the jump, check out songs Nos. 50-4 in the Top 50 list that will
update as it grows...]
Here's the thing about that single, though: It may have come with massive hype -- Palomo's face was plastered all over billboards Austin in at March 2010's SXSW Festival, which conveniently came just after the song's release -- but it also lives up to it. In fact, "Sleep Paralysist," may be strongest, and most fully realized, single that Palomo has ever released over the course of his young, but ridiculously impressive, career.
