Eric already extolled the synth-pop slickness of Mobius Band’s set opening for Matthew Dear, and he’s totally right: The Brooklyn trio made infectious, intelligent music that was both restrained and eloquent.

They saved the best song off their latest album, Heaven, for the end of the set. As I said in my Up & Coming this week, “Friends Like These” is the jaded inverse of LCD Soundsystem’s sentimental “All My Friends.” The song’s slow-swinging chorus is pretty much the perfect musical tempo, funky and pendulous but rendered with a goofy white-guy bounce that’s irresistibe. It’s offset by a simple keyboard counter-beat and splashy cymbal work, while layers of stippled digital effects add sonic density to the otherwise bouyant instrumentation and Peter Sax’s plain-but-trenchant vocals. It’s an immaculately structured pop song that sounds totally original and sort of familiar.

Yeah, it’s Monday, but it’s never too soon to hear the Best Song Ever (This Week).
