World Party - Is It Like Today?

"Is It Like Today?" comes from Bang!, World Party's 1993 album, and it's Karl Wallinger's show from top to bottom: he wrote the words and the music and produced it himself, with Steve Lillywhite brought in for additional production and the mix. Wallinger asks his big question in the title and lets the song mull it over, warm and unhurried, with the kind of lived-in melody that sounds like it's been around for years.
