MMS Premiere - "Wind Me Up" by Two Dragons and a Cheetah

Greetings, blog reader(s). Waking us from the torpor of our long absence and the longer nights is a new song from our friends Two Dragons and a Cheetah (2D&C). Inspired by not one, but two, Beatles songs, "Wind Me Up" sheds the sturm und drang for a toe-tapping, booty-shaking, bar brawl of a number complete with a group singalong.

Meriweather is 13 tracks and 42 minutes of blue eyed soul that is at once familiar and different, the shared DNA with Love Lines and the Nova EP evident even as this album swerves into sonically unfamiliar territory. The silky smooth intro of the opening track, "Pt. 1", indicates that this is a late night album, the soundtrack to a private après party, the cooldown to the blistering soul for which Nathaniel Rateliff and (St.) Paul Janeway are known. Turn the lights down low, pour yourself and your companion of choice a nice whiskey, and let the feeling wash over you.

Bandleader Dustin Smith wanted to approach this album in a different fashion from the band's prior releases. Smith and his collaborators—Dan Kreipke, Sam Mogerman, Aaron Ehrlich, Andy Poppen, and Nick Vasquez—put a new spin on the whole process of putting together the album, from song…
