We’ve spent plenty of time in recent weeks sharing our excitement for the artist formerly known as PlayRadioPlay!’s new disc under the Analog Rebellion moniker. And, every time we hear a new leak from Aledo native Daniel Hunter’s new upcoming disc, Ancient Electrons, our anticipation of the album’s release only grows. Take, for instance, the newest song to leak from Hunter: “Marla Singer Doesn’t Take Standardized Tests (Disposable Smile).”
Earlier this week, the song made its debut as a stream-only trake on AbsolutePunk.net. We dug it so much, we reached out to Hunter to see if he’d be willing to let DC9 readers check it out. Thankfully for all of us, he obliged. Check out the song–and download it for free–after the jump.
Bonus mp3:
It starts off as a simple enough, fairly straight-forward, reverb-drenched track. But by its end, Hunter flexes his guitar-playing chops, churning the song into a Paper Chase-meets-Pixies frenzy.
Seriously, don’t sleep on this upcoming release. And, if you get the chance, catch Hunter performance tomorrow at The Door Plano, where he’ll headline a benefit concert for MADD.
