Low Skies is the band. Cousin is the song. I've heard it 524 times according to Itunes. But that's only sitting at the computer, not in the car, or on my mp3 player. I can't say if I've listened to it on the DT880 since getting the E9 amplifier but tonight I heard it on my new Q701's and heard something that I had never noticed in 500+ listenings.
This song is a duet....Buried deep in the mix, and only on certain lines, there is a female voice singing in perfect harmony to the lead, to sound like one single voice, Beatles style. There are no women in the band, and no female vocalists anywhere else on the album. They buried her voice so deeply into the mix it's only there subconsciously on most headphones. I guess they did it to change the character and feeling of those particular lines of the song, to make them less masculine and raw.
I am floored right now, that I never heard that before. That is what makes a particular headphone truly special to me, when I can listen to a song I've heard hundreds of times, and hear something new.....
