...eschew the idea of a limited role for each musician. The melody of “Warning Sign,” a Talking Heads cover, is sung completely in harmony. This mirrors a trend seen in many bands like Grizzly Bear to dispense with a specific lead singer and instead focus on harmonies and dual vocalists. On “Stranger Things,” furious strings cut in and out to build the tension, and the guitars layer at the end of the track, becoming an indistinguishable, blissed-out mass. This is just one example of how the songs...

...tumultuous social change, is something from which the QSA could greatly benefit.

Harvard freshman Jillian Dempsey responded with her 10th goal of the season at 12:37 in the third period to tie the game. A delay-of-game penalty against St. Lawrence gave Griffin the ideal opening to showcase her skill and resolve as a veteran player...

...Lead singer and songwriter Jamie Stewart arranges his music to prod and engage listeners. Underneath Stewart’s vocals—which alternatively whimper, sing, and shout—layers of instrumentation and programming juxtapose guitars, drums, a banjo, a cello, and synthesizers, among other noisemakers. “Apple for a Brain” is composed particularly with provocation in mind, its bouncing beats and chirping drums suddenly giving away after two minutes into what seems like a completely different song. This is far from an isolated example of the group disregarding musical conventions—just...
