Listen: Chris Thile and Michael Daves' Hard-Rocking Bluegrass Tune 'Man in the Middle'

Chris Thile, the mandolin virtuoso best known as a member of Nickel Creek, has teamed up with guitarist Michael Daves for a new album titled Sleep With One Eye Open, which came out on Nonesuch last week. Though that record includes a generous 16 tracks, the duo are also releasing a double A-side single produced by Jack White and released on his Third Man Records label – "Man in the Middle"/"Blue Night" – on May 24th. You can listen to "Man in the Middle," a manic bluegrass number with a heavy rock & roll bottom end, here today.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
