Fifty-word review

Two Dancers

Borrow It

Overwrought yet oddly tamped-down, framing a voice like Guy Garvey’s campy, excitable brother: too goofy to be lovely, too mannered to cut loose. “We Still Got The Taste Dancing On Our Tongues” is prolix as its title; wittier is “When I’m Sleepy…” which briefly pretends to Prince’s domestically sexy throne.
