Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Kevin Cole, host of Drive Time on KEXP, is "Familiars" by Dark Time Sunshine, from the 2021 album LORE on Fake Four Inc.
Dark Time Sunshine combines the talents of Seattle's own Onry Ozzborn (of Grayskul and Oldominion) and Chicago producer Zavala. It's been nine years since their last album, ANX, but they return this month with Lore.
While the lyrics on the new album mostly reflect on trauma and recovery, today's Song of the Day looks at resilience. In a track-by-track with Flood Magazine, the duo describe the meaning behind today's Song of the Day, stating simply, "ignore the negative voices in your head, and outside of it."
