6 “Out of My League,” Fitz and the Tantrums
You know there are groups and artist that spend their entire
careers being wonderfully obscure, and sometimes the world decides to do
something right and gives them a true success and Fitz and the Tantrums are one
of those examples of that wonderful occurrence happening and I’m glad to say
that they’re known for something more than that group that made Moneygrabber.
Now before I get into it I do have to say that sometimes
when compiling these list you’re stuck in a conundrum where you don’t know
whether or not to write about the song that brought the most success or the
song that you enjoyed most that they actually made this year and while I’d like
to highly suggest everybody go out and listen to Fool’s Gold from this album I
just had to give this song the nod because without it none of that would have
been possible.
Now the thing that set’s this song aside from every other
song they’ve made is that rather than being the coolest most retro grooved
throwback you’ve heard in a long time they actually made a indie rock song that
was completely out of their comfort zone and while it would have backfired for
any other group this song actually managed to be quite spectacular which is
awesome because here’s a band that I honestly felt have some untapped
commercial potential starting to really get a following and the fact that it
was the intro to what was quite an awesome album this year only leads me to
have to rank it so highly amongst its peers..
