Phantogram's "Don't Move" makes the Latest New Songs list and Best Tracks at BitCandy. Phantogram's new EP was just released on Barsuk Records November 1, and "Don't Move" is by far (I'm pretty sure) the best track out here. Hey, is this song about withdrawal or something? Check out the lyrics at the bottom of the post to make ur own conclusions.
By the way, who names their label Barsuk? That's too easy to make fun of, but I don't dare...they put out great music. Hehe.
Here's a taste of both aforementioned tracks from Phantogram. 1st, their new song "Don't Move" and following, the video "When I Was Small" from their last album (which we tipped at BitCandy like years ago).

Phantogram - "Don't Move" Lyrics
I'm not your nervous feeling / Each time we say goodnight / You picture buildings burning to the ground / From the basement to the streetlight / I'm not your drinking problem / A hole is in the sky / It's not your heart that you've been thinkin of / Just the feeling like you're gonna die
All you know how to do is / Shake shake / Keep your body still, keep your body still / All you do is / Shake shake shake / Keep your body still, keep your body still
I'm not your paranoia / When someone's at the door / Virgin fires calling out the throat of a body rising through the floor / I'm not your fortune teller / I'm not your spinning bed / I'm never like you / Uncomfortable too / This is starting to fuck with my head
All you know how to do is / Shake shake / Keep your body still, keep your body still / All you do is / Shake shake shake / Keep your body still, keep your body still
Don't you realize you're fine / Oh can't you see that you're fine / And know that you're still alive / You know that you're still alive / Oh don't you know you're alive / Don't you know you're alive / Burning in the sky
