Even the tango rhythm of "All Yesterday's Parties," which could be an eye-rolling gimmick in the hands of a lesser band, sounds natural, like a gently mocking celebration of the past. Throughout the album, Kirkpatrick's signature piano builds tension, then releases it in glorious climax amidst Hamilton's itchy, buzzing synth bass and atmospherics, all underpinned by Anderson's relentless, propulsive beats. It's alternately and sometimes simultaneously dramatic and minimal, hysterical and creepy, paranoid and lucid, triumphant and cowering.

Simply put, it's phenomenal.

If there's any gripe to be made against Nervous Curtains, it's that, ironically, the band created to help fill out live renditions of songs from Turn on the Interference no longer plays any material from that great album. But, Kirkpatrick says, he'll likely play solo shows again, eventually.

Maybe they will truly be solo shows this time—or maybe he'll end up inadvertently starting yet another band. Either way should be fine with his fans.
