Stars never seem to think twice about finding and flattening their listener's emotional core. I suppose that could explain why "Your Ex-Lover is Dead", the lead track from'05's
Set Yourself On Fire, continues to haunt me to this very day. Creeping into randomly generated play lists (far too often!), blasting from crowded bar room speakers;
Amy Millan and
Torquil Campbell's tragically painted vocal interplay takes the most cosmically opportune times to slay me right then and there time and time again. Sadly, last year's follow-up,
In Our Bedroom After the War, lacked the same kind of emotional punch. There's no time like the present, however, and the recently released
Sad Robots EP (Arts and Crafts) offers plenty of reasons to stick with the band on in to
After the War's full-length follow-up.
