Stream: The Cairo Gang, ‘What Can You Do?’

“What Can You Do?” instantly feels like a song you’ve known forever. It’s got a natural, essentially irresistible melody that activates all the right quivering vintage pop sensibilities. Cut live and produced by The Cairo Gang‘s Emmett Kelly with Ty Segall, “What Can You Do?” is the closing song on the band’s new album, “Untouchable”, out March 24 via Drag City’s God? imprint. While the guitars twist and turn in crunchy shapes, they’re mostly pulled back in the mix, putting Kelly’s vocal melody and its yearnful proto-glam appeal at the forefront.
