I came across this song in my iTunes this morning.  The only title is “Track 03”, with no artist name, so it looks as if someone gave it to me directly, or it’s from a compilation CD or something.

It’s a cool blend of swirly piano, trashy drum machine, accordion, and guitars, both acoustic and electric.  Guy singer.  I have a feeling that it could very well be a Portland band.  Once you hear it, you’ll see why I like it so much.  It sounds a bit like a cross between Guster and really early Jellyfish (I was gonna say Beatnik Beatch, but hardly anyone knows who they are), with a dash of the Shins for good measure.  Seriously.  It’s really good.  Have a listen:

I tried to do a search for the lyrics, but came up empty-handed.  Any ideas who it might be?  Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
