If David Vandervelde wasn't your thing before, we encourage you to check this out. It's not that it's too different from his previous material—it sometimes gets kinda glammy and sounds a lot like Fleetwood Mac on speed—but it's that this time around it's so fully realized. "Learn How to Hang" is the kind of song that can transform one of those shitty nights when you're staring into the bottom of the same beer for what seems like hours into a full on party where you stare into the bottom of a whole bunch of beers for what seems like minutes before you get another one. In other words: learn how to hang! Vandervelde is releasing this song as part of a virtual 7-inch (still trying to understand that concept) through Secretly Canadian. He's also going on tour, which we highly recommend checking out. Dates after the jump.
