Finding a soft spot between the mopey bleat of Conor Oberst
and the boozy, urban strum of Deer Tick, the RAA are warm and inviting like a
best friend's patience, but they hold you at arm's length while they luxuriate
in winter's icy loneliness. And they seem to like it. Singer Nils Edenloff's nasal stabs at breakups and breakdowns are somehow comforting, because who doesn't want the last word in a split? Especially when it's "Good Night", a woozy, elegiac album closer that leaves everything behind except the possibility of love.
