Today's Morning Edition music is from "Millionaire" by Thao and the Get Down Stay Down from their new album "A Man Alive."
The San Francisco-based alternative folk rock group will be performing Wednesday night at the Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis.
The album, which was produced by Merrill Garbus of Tuneyards, is more beat and bass driven than their previous guitar-oriented albums.
