...third album, “First Impressions of Earth,” places the band in the midst of a cold New York winter. Conjuring up the claustrophobia and bleakness of Manhattan is a new direction for a band whose earlier videos and songs celebrated the grime and buzz of the city’s nightlife. In “Heart in a Cage,” leather-jacketed singer Julian Casablancas rolls on the gritty surface of the city streets while anonymous figures and rushing legs swirl past him.

...heart of “Brokeback Mountain” is not quite the quixotic romance over which the maelstrom of press has swooned. At the story’s center is the love of Ennis and Jack, but it’s a romance with its fair share of grime. Their very first sex scene is as bewildering for its rather sudden advent as its overt hostility. The two know to keep it hush hush: “It’s nobody’s business but ours,” says Jack. When the summer ends...
