The lyric sums up the risk the band has taken on this new LP, abandoning their defining brand of filthy, glossy dance-pop and distancing themselves from their usual glow-stick-waving clientele.

But the band also continues to experiment, as on the song “Cumberland Gap,” where the twanging of a banjo surprises listeners as it accompanies Stewart’s vocals, both moving over the same notes in unison. The song is a reworking of a famous folk tune named for a pass...
