Put Your Back N To It

8.8 out of 10

A squeeze of the hand, a knowing look, Put Your Back N To It ascends to tenderness and consolation through piano-based arrangements set against a trembling, lush backdrop. Songs rarely swell to crescendo, but when they do, notes of 50s girl group jubilation emerge, hinting that it indeed gets better.

Reminds us of: Grandaddy | newer Antlers | Sufjan Stevens
