A lot of the best music these days dabbles in weird time signatures and is influenced by Steve Reich. That is not unusual. To hear those influences with such easy-on-the-ear pop melodies is unusual. They’re as into Talking Heads as they’re into … well, the weird stuff, and the result is as breezy as a May morning.
It’s the sort of song you’d called “endearing” – all plucked strings and the sort of earnestly cheerful vocals that befit a radio hit from the 1980s – if only it wasn’t for those peskily abrupt time changes. Then again, that never did Sparks any harm*.
Out of Touch in the Wild is released today on Memphis Industries.
