Song of the Day: "Wide Open" by Chemical Brothers with Beck

I didn't know the Chemical Brothers were capable of creating such a warm, calm and wistful sound. But then again, "Wide Open" is a collaboration with Beck. And it's a very good, vulnerable rock song.

And who the hell expected the Roxy Music-like surge of saxophone at the end? It gets kind of '80s lush.


Some of these collaborations lately—Where Are Ü Now?" with Diplo, Skrillex and Justin Bieber, which I like despite Bieber's rumored douche-baggery, and "Lean On" by Major Lazer & DJ Snake Ft. MØ —are really cool. They have a lot of inherent possibilities in manner of The Postal Service.
