What music was used in the intro on today's episode of NPR's On Point?

You can here it by clicking the "listen to this show" button on the top of this page. It's the drum/guitar piece that starts at 10 seconds in.

I know shows like This American Life list out songs that they use, but I can't find any corresponding list for On Point. The words spoken over the music also prevent me from using any music identification programs.


Anyone recognize it? Thanks!

Four Tet's Everything is Alright. It's On Point's theme song.

Well that was easy! I just never even thought that it was anything more than simple bumper music. Thanks, oinopaponton.

I was just wondering what this song was the other day. Every time I hear it on the radio I am surprised by how resonant the bass drum is. Thanks for the title!
