Singles Club: Thieving Irons

"So Long" is the first offering from record number the second, and I have to tell you, I'm finding it rather breathtaking. It's a definite shift in sound, moving away from the earnest, heart-on-sleeve Boss-esque compositions of This Midnight Hum and into territory that reminds me a lot of much-missed LA outfit The Broken West. The earnestness and the quality songwriting are still here, mind you, but in a totally different way. "So Long" is shimmery and shiny and new and altogether lovely, and I suspect it won't take long for it to become a favorite song. I hate to say it, because I would hate to encourage Thieving Irons to take a while between records, but the wait was definitely worth it.
This time, anyway. Don't go getting ideas, boys.
