As I suspected would happen, I forgot to turn off my alarm clock last night, and was jolted to life this morning with far less than the appropriate amount of sleep. The Boys Are Leaving Town began blasting through my room, and in my confused haze I came to realize just how much the song reminds me of Sometimes from My Bloody Valentine (listen to it here); as a big fan of shoegazing, this pleased me a great deal. The Boys Are Leaving Town is the opening track to the Japandroids‘ universally acclaimed debut LP Post-Nothing. Though favorited by many fans, musicians, and publications this year, Post-Nothing was unable to find its way from the PolarisPolaris reviews
long-list to the short-list during the second round of voting. While quite understandable when considering the caliber of the final long-list, it would have been fantastic to see Japandroids perform at the gala. For more from the album, we have posted the following songs:

The Boys are leaving town. The Boys are leaving town. The Boys are leaving town, Now.
The Boys are leaving town. The Boys are leaving town. The Boys are leaving town, Now.
The Boys are leaving town. The Boys are leaving town. The Boys are leaving town, Now.
The Boys are leaving town. The Boys are leaving town. The Boys are leaving town, Now.

Will we find our way back home, Whoa!
Will we find our way back home, Whoa!
Will we find our way back home, Whoa!
Will we find our way back home, Whoa!
Will we find our way back home, Whoa!
Will we find our way back home, Whoa!
Will we find our way back home, Whoa!
