Some days are perfect for songs without lyrics - the cold days when your commute seems to come with its own violins and the percussion of raindrops hitting the window beside you. The next time that happens to you (most likely later tonight for myself and other Chicagoans), arm yourself with the gorgeous arrangements brought to us by Loop 4.2.3.

After listening to their title track, "Zodiac Dust", it should come as no surprise that the duo has worked with artists Sufjan Stevens, The Books and Belle Orchestre (to name a few). If it's anything like their title track, I'll be super psyched when the full-length album comes out June 16th.
