Well, it's maybe a few days late to be topical, since winter is already here, but check out Elf Power, "The Winter is Coming". Elf Power is loosely affiliated with the Elephant 6 collective; if you're not familiar with those bands—Olivia Tremor Control, The Apples (In Stereo), Neutral Milk Hotel, and a host of others—the best comparison is probably The Flaming Lips, except a bit more overtly Beatlesque. This is the title track of what I think is a concept album but I've never been able to quite follow what it's about. The lyrics mention something about the Spectre and a bird with a throne... who knows, but it's a good pop tune anyway.
