There are songs that, upon first listen, don’t quite click. Maybe after a few spins, some research and a little persuasion from the internet crowd, they grow to our liking. Whereas all of that sounds like a longwinded courtship out of a 17th century-set romance novel, this track by new LA-based band PAPA can be likened to instantaneous, all-consuming love at first sight. From the get go, “Put Me To Work” charges with chiming piano, blaring guitars, pounding organs, and an irresistible melody, calling to mind all the best aspects of groups like Arcade Fire, The National and Wolf Parade. Their debut album is expected some time next year, watch out for these guys.
