61. Beach House - Gila


from the album Devotion

Devotion is an album which plays infinity in your head after hearing it the first time. Gila along with wedding bell are the highlights on this 2008 release. What makes Gila so special is along with being catchy is the lyrics for this album are so incredibly abstract that it can be used as an anthem to about anything. Love lost. Lost found. friendship. Hatred. Thanksgiving dinner. Grocery shopping. Once the chorus hits you are attached and when the vocal accappela kicks in you are forced into a hypnotic sing along. Below is the official video for Gila directed by Jon Leone which perfectly captures the thoughts of a 16 year old kid on mushrooms.
