Hickie-Kallenbach’s voice and lyrics are more forceful too, matching up to the more beefy instrumentation. She has always had the ability to give just enough shape to the raw feeling in her words for you to build whole scenes around them, but here she sketches in more, becoming more generous in her writing. She pulls back just enough to not overdo it though, maintaining the sense of a private moment overheard through the wall that is so essential to their brilliance. It gives a beating heart to the record's more cerebral edges.
What this all adds up to is a record that takes their already winning formula and pushes it forward in every way. It makes their previous records sound a touch spindly and faint by comparison. It’s strange. As much as collage was essential to Still House Plants' aims and methods, the new record feels like it gets to the heart of their sound, simply by having the three of them in a room playing. It turns out that literally collaging various sources together for their previous records sounds less like an assemblage than them all playing in a room, such is the improvisatory but perfectly judged shifting tones and textures on display.
