One of ARMS AND SLEEPERS‘s Max Lewis favorite tracks: KANYE WEST – Devil in a New Dress
First off, I only ever listen to the first three minutes of this song. After that, it’s a mess. At about 3:15, it sounds like what a song would sound like if non-musicians were in charge of it.
This song makes me think of driving on a highway on a day during the end of fall with the driver’s side window down. If I concentrate on the song and nothing else, it sometimes makes me feel as if I’m floating. I really enjoy the soulful sound of the sample mixed with the roughness of the drums and Kanye’s strange, but evocative language.
