It got me thinking: there’s a surprising amount of good theological (or at least quasi-biblical) allusion going on in Pitchfork-approved bands - given that Christianity is pretty much the cardinal sin for hipsters.
A brief selection:
Anything by Sufjan Stevens (hello Seven Swans/Songs for Christmas)
Wolf Parade: “What makes a sinner serve, unless he knows you’re alive?” (cf. Romans 1:4)
Surfer Blood:
Forget the second coming
I need you in the here and now
Instead of dreaming up a way to spread your name across the world somehow
When you told me you were leaving
I wasn’t thirsty for revenge
No I wasn’t disappointed much at all
Coz you’ll be back again
