Kish Bashi's new single "Song For The Sold" is one of the summer's best songs

It's strange how Kishi Bashi hasn't blown up bigger than some of the other artist that came out last year like The Lumineers.  I guess everything goes in cycles and right now the masses are willing to listen to more folk-rock.  Pound for pound there's not many artist more inventive and inspiring than Kishi Bashi.  It's odd to thank advertisers for using music from artist like Kishi Bashi or the masses would be clueless about their existence. Reminds me of the film Demolition Man but in reverse. If you haven't seen the film, in the future the music that is popular is the songs from past commercial jingles. 

Anyhow, let's talk about his new single "Song For The Sold" that has yet to catch on it seems.  Not only is the song inspiring and colorful in it's imagination but so is the video.  I think he's only getting better as a lyricist and his compositions are becoming tighter and more refined.  This is on my shortlist of songs for the summer of 2013.  I guess we will have to wait till this song gets used in a commercial or film before it becomes popular with the masses.

There's also a second single that's slipped through the cracks called "Philosophize In It! Chemicalize With It!" created for a Japanese commercial.  You see what I'm saying about commercial jingles becoming our songs for the future.  Who knew Demolition Man was so in touch with our future?

Here's the advertisement he originally wrote the above song for. Kishi mentions the song was initially written to be 30 seconds.   That's one epic 30 seconds of music he initially wrote for the advertisement.
