Look Alive

Icy synthesizers and drum machines replace the band's signature acoustic warmth. A cold, beautiful, and slightly anxious pivot into electronic art-pop.

The sudden, jarring shift into a British-inflected spoken-singing style on Overexcited.
The way Not for Nothing builds into a sprawling, six-minute atmospheric centerpiece.
