Case in point – The Spine, the just-released tenth album from Johns Linnell and Flansburgh, a brief yet sublime platter that is perhaps the group’s best album since John Henry.
The Spine is its polar opposite, a record that glides from one end to the other, gently pulling you along and never stopping short.
On The Spine, they all seem to come from the same place, and it sounds like a fun place to be from.
