We all sort of dread having to get up in the morning, bear the cold, and inevitably slip or fall at some point in the day on this so called "black ice". However, there are definitely upsides to this weather, one of them being the fact that it was inspiration for Beach House's latest and greatest, "I Do Not Care for the Winter Sun". Lyrically and musically simple yet absolutely breathtaking, as I find all of Victoria and Alex's songs to be, this new tune seems to makes me look at the snow and the cold a bit more affectionately, even if it has undertones of a broken heart. You don't much hear them use the slide guitar in their music, which I think makes this song unique in their repertoire; yet, there's no denying that it still has that quintessential Beach House dreamy quality to it. I highly recommend this song, especially to those who would rather do nothing than stay in with a cup of tea and enjoy the snowfall at a distance. Listen to the mp3 here:
