...complete the cast. The pair effectively opens with the classic “good cop, bad cop” routine, only to reverse their roles as the plot develops. Kernion is cool, cunning, and calculated, while Giles positively burns with aggression and rage, lashing out in fury at the slightest provocation. Giles’s thundering demeanor is artfully tempered, however, by the presence of a few childlike habits, such as a penchant for sucking on lollipops.

But the track, which approaches ten minutes in length, goes beyond a mere regurgitation of alternative country. Haphazard slips of electric guitar and banjo accent a languid harp—which, in typical Newsom style, she fits perfectly into this country song—and as the song proceeds, dramatic harp and guitar...
