.jpg)
The brooding “Dustbowl II,” from Other Lives’ brilliant new album Tamer Animals, out May 10 from tbd, is as harsh and barren as its namesake. Droning strings swell around the spare song for its first half until it reaches its central pondering—“Is there any way to get this writing off the wall?”—exploding with a crash of ominous military-march drums, offering what could only be a bleak, “No.” It is morose and brazen, but never more than it has to be, an extravagant song that, like the rest of the album around it, never once borders on pretentious.
