Fifty-word review

A Sleep & A Forgetting

6.9 out of 10

Flat-voiced and eternally sighing, Nicholas Thorburn gets away with bemoaning his broken relationship because of snappy drums, clear-ringing piano, and harmonies that reach out to touch someone other than himself. The best songs, “Hallways” and “Can’t Feel My Face,” are the fastest; heartbreak gets uptempo and angry, too.

Reminds us of Blood on the Tracks for wimps / Springsteen’s Devils & Dust with more synths / Lou Barlow
