...layering, electronic flourishes—can’t escape a comparison to the techniques that brought “The Soft Bulletin” to life. But the relationship between the two records is almost totally inverted: while “The Soft Bulletin” brought a cinematic??at times even an operatic—sensibility to its structure, emphasizing the individual track as an autonomous episode within a greater, looser narrative, “Embryonic” reverts the energy of the single track toward a teleology that is itself the album-whole.

Songs on Bows are cinematic??thick, sweeping layers of piano, guitar and organ produce compelling vignettes that dwarf the simplicity of lyrics. Hamilton Leithauser’s vocals glide and soar behind a scratchy veil, adding poignancy to the mundane actions and thoughts he sings about. On break-up lament “The North Pole,” he sounds on the verge of shattering as he howls, “Everybody knows / That’s the way it goes.” But the childlike “New Year’s Eve?...
