...home," he yelps on Intervention, one of the happier tunes. Plenty of candidates for rock's next big voice mistook darkness for depth early on (listened to any '70s Springsteen lately?), and you get the sense Butler will outgrow it, since the band's melodies already have. Black Mirror and Keep the Car Running take flight on guitar, harp, hurdy-gurdy and a chorus of voices that soar past the words, creating a feeling of optimism in songs about pessimism.

That’s not to say that the class is free from the inevitable balls to the mirror-lined wall awkwardness: “If I feel drawn to look at a particular man, I might notice that and feel self-conscious about that urge,” Stewart J. Landers writes in an e—mail. The class, which Sparling says was conceived during...
