Pretty Girls Make Graves are a band from Seattle, Washington got together around 2001 or so. I first heard their stuff 3 or 4 years ago, and remember being not-blown-away. They broke up earlier this year, but not before releasing a new album called Elan Vital, which is a pretty good record all around if you're into indie rock. Debates on what exactly constitutes "indie rock" are omitted here in the interests of brevity. See Whitehead, 2007 for a more thorough consideration of the subject.
More importantly, Elan Vital has one absolute, unequivocally kickass tune on it. "Parade" is a short song, just 2:40 long. The lyrics are nothing stellar, they're certainly no Joanna Newsom or anything (fun fact: Joanna Newsom's "Ys" is the best work of music ever produced by a human), but in any case, the lyrics are secondary because this song is CATCHY. Like, really catchy. If you download this song and tell me you listened to it without bobbing your head up and down just a little, you will be lying.
