new pornographers doing their thing but slightly more “staring into the void with a nice melody behind it”. loads of little stories going on, all a bit bleak if you actually listen, but dressed up in hooks and harmonies so you don’t notice til later. everything feels really dialled in, like they’ve stripped it back first then built it properly instead of chucking everything at it. still big, still catchy, just a bit more… aware of itself. mandolin sneaks in at one point like it owns the place. fair enough.
