If you haven't heard it yet, Childish Gambino sampled (and by that I mean straight-up rapped on top of) this song on his I Do Not Talk mixtape back in 2011. Early Gambino has a special place in my heart, so I have to admit I'll probably forever associate this track more with his version than the original, although I certainly wouldn't call it the "better" version. Worth a listen if you're a hip-hop fan, or a fan of modern Childish Gambino

Hell yeah, love AC, they're such a weird drum circle of a band that sounds like they're about to fly out of control any moment but actually has a weird complex logic to everything they do. Also, they have some of the catchiest and most earnest vocals that just always put a smile on my face.

Adding synths and stuff to their sound was definitely a great way to grow it to something stadium sized and make it totally unique, but their earlier smaller stuff like We Tigers and Grass are always gonna be super nostalgic for me.
