A second single from the soon-to-be-released Boy & Bear album Moonfire (out August 5). Milk & Sticks begins with their trademark galloping rhythm and whomping all male harmonies but switches pace and spreads its wings halfway through, becoming a thundering stadium rock track with Muse-like ambitions. A really different sort of sound for the band, far from their would-be Fleet Foxes roots and all the better for it. Excellent.
