Since The Meaning Has Gone

Man/Miracle “Back of the Card”

“Back of the Card” spends a lot of its time in a zone mined by post-punk fans and Talking Heads disciples, but even after a decade’s worth of that sort of thing, it still comes out sounding fresh and fun. Some of that comes from some clever twists: A vague hint of country twang early on, and a sudden yet somehow kinda gradual meltdown into clattering, droning noise at the end. It hits a comfortable sweet spot, but it doesn’t settle for giving you exactly what you expect. Nicely done.
