Taxidermists - "Does the Wind Know"

Cooper B. Handy and Salvadore McNamara met as pre-teens on MySpace back in 2007 and make music as Taxidermists. The Massachusetts based duo just released a brand new single, "Does the Wind Know." If you have a fondness for 90's DIY indie rock recordings, this one is going to resonate with you. I can't say that the song sounds like something recorded thirty years ago, but it does have the same ethos as that time period. "Does the Wind Know" is a fun lo-fi jam that comes in at just over two minutes and reminds me of a slightly more slick version of Sentridoh. 

Taxidermists say of their latest single:

“We sing together on the majority of this one. It’s a winter mantra: ‘Does the wind know that you're cold?’ A love song. An ode to believing in what youʼre doing.”
