July Flame

Laura Veirs - July Flame (buy the LP) (free song download)

This is uncharacteristically somber but the one-bar guitar riff is hypnotizing. The remix makes the drums bigger and adds subtle electronic embellishments that help its steady build. Singer-songwriter Laura Veirs is a folk musician, the proof is at Daytrotter. "July Flame," the single named for the album, escapes the dry acoustic guitar strums and feels current. The remix just makes it better.
