The local band I’ve seen the most times is Obi Best, partially because, well, they play a lot, but also because I go almost every time I can because Alex Lilly is pretty much the coolest person in existence, and she writes some of the catchiest and unusual songs I’ve heard, and has one of the clearest and most lovely singing voices I’ve heard. Okay, enough hyberbole, though really, it’s not hyberbole by much.

Alex released a new EP this year called Sentimental Education that you can get on iTunes or on Amazon (that one’s an affiliate link). It’s got four songs that she’s been performing live for quite a while, but it’s great to have them as studio tracks, too.

Here’s probably my favorite track off the EP, a slow one which shows off Alex’s voice beautifully:
Obi Best – Knock On Any Door

And now, the real, original occasion for this post, before I got sidetracked on actually, like, talking about the band and EP. They put a video out recently for the song “Tropical Fish,” with an intriguing Bollywood theme. I actually have no idea how this relates to the song, but whatever.
