...interesting ways to talk about the subject, if these were ever accessible to them. It’s difficult to even cull exemplary lyrics, since almost every word that the group records is totally inane, but by the time the album progresses through it’s blurry B-side to the penultimate “This Isn’t You,” the simile “Your words break me down like a wrecking ball / I’m so sick of it all” will seem like a godsend. Other gems like...
...swirling accompaniment if not for the sheer fact that it’s the album’s most beautiful adornment. Similarly, the relatively spare “No More Runnin” is a drawn-out, dreamy moment of calm on the album’s B-side, whose progression of successively hyperactive dance tracks terminates in the closer, “Brother Sport.”Debuted on the band’s last tour in long form, “Brother Sport,” a distinctively Lennox-penned track, simultaneously encapsulates the music that comes before...

Another rare, early B-side included is “Wonderful Woman...
...male dancers evocatively lifted one of the female dancers, who seemed to transcend the boundary between life and death, perhaps returning to Earth after a period in Elysium. Jodi Leigh Allen, who will teach jazz classes next semester at the Harvard Dance Center, choreographed and costumed “B-Side,” another standout premiere. Dancers clad in black moved against a fiery red background to the artificial sounds of a synthesizer to produce a striking effect. The rigid movements of the men contrasted powerfully and sensually with the women’s grace. The ballet...
