Already a front-runner for 2009's most gushed-over art-rock record, the third disc from this Brooklyn quartet has a sound that is completely its own: an opulent, intimate rumble built on churning acoustic riffs, haunted croons and precise string parts. Tracks like "All We Ask" and "Fine for Now," where singer Daniel Rossen murmurs "We're all faltering" over a languid, jazzy shuffle, are daydreams tinged with disquiet. Then there's the focused standout "Two Weeks," an uptempo tune built on gorgeous choral harmonies that sounds like a teenage symphony to God, as conceived by Radiohead-loving postgrads.
