Real-life lovebirds Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice have been lurking in the background of one another's records since Lewis's 2006 album Rabbit Fur Coat, but the brisk and breezy "Scissor Runner" marks their first front and center collabo. And what's it about? Love, of course — but not the entirely healthy kind. Over bright, bounding, summery guitars, Rice sings, "She's an artist/ painting a portrait all over my heart" to which Lewis responds: "Colors bleeding/ so deceiving." The mix of tart sentiments and sparkling power pop is part of the song's sly charm.
