A Fine Frenzy -- Almost Lover

Get it while you can. A Fine Frenzy was the opening act at the Rufus Wainwright concert I caught on Friday in Philly and this was the best of their songs. I thought their stuff was good, but they have the worst All Music Guide review I have seen a while, which concludes with "She certainly tries hard, and nothing ever comes out awfully, but she never takes off, never does anything memorable, and so despite her attempts, A Fine Frenzy ends up being unremarkably dull." This song, however, is pretty good.

One of the high points of the concert was when the second opening act (or special guest, in concertspeak) Neko Case was on stage and someone yelled "Freebird." It was that kind of show. Rufus was pretty good though.
