I tuned out after Phan­tom Pow­er. I know peo­ple loved “Inau­gur­al Trams,” but I could­n’t get on board. (See what I did there?)

I lis­tened to their albums so much and SO LOUDLY dur­ing grad school that I’d thought I’d go deaf try­ing to fig­ure out what was hap­pen­ing in the back­ground on “Rings Around the World.” Then, sud­den­ly, like the New Pornog­ra­phers, every­thing end­ed up being more or less mid-tem­po. They’ve writ­ten some love­ly bal­lads over the years, but I just did­n’t expect them to ditch the fuzz pop altogether.

Can a case be made for Love Kraft and Dark Days/Light Years? Am I miss­ing out?
