James: My jaw hit the floor at 2:51 of “How to Draw / Petrichor.” Not only did they take a wildly successful electronic detour, but they chose to showcase it at the front of the album rather than safely slipping it into the back half of the tracklist. While not as sonically far removed from their previous output than “I Like America & America Likes Me,” or “TooTimeTooTimeTooTime,” this track’s embrace of titanic ’90s Britpop feels more unexpected to me.
