Matt Berninger's brooding repetition of haunting phrases -- "I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders" or "This river is full of lost sharks" -- casts a spell. His delivery, not dissimilar to Lloyd Cole's, is satisfyingly unhurried and dry. Trademark slick drumming and smart instrumental cameos are icing on the cake.
