I just finished “You Can’t Kill Me”. It’s rare for me to listen to an album straight through, just listening, not knitting or other multitasking. And what a unique experience! This band is so full of musical ideas that they can afford to sprinkle tantalizingly brief beats and licks into songs, as if to say “ya like that? There’s a lot more where that came from--keep listening!” Thank you for your insightful critique.

Also, I love the way you put that, "tantalizing brief beats and licks". They are tantalizing, indeed.
So glad you gave it a listen! I agree, it definitely requires full attention. There’s just so much going on, you don’t want to miss a thing.
I've been digging "Dream Thing" from the Angel Olsen album, but I always love songs about dreams!
Yes!! That’s such a good one! The castanets kill me.
