Tamer Animal is a lush, expansive piano ballad with a booming tom beat, influenced by God Speed You! Black Emperor and Sigur Ros. The instrumentation has a wild arctic feel, a hint of savagery in the slowness that quickens your pulse, while Jesse Tabish’s voice echoes the stoic melancholia of The National’s Matt Berninger. It’s not an intimate or overly emotional song, but it has a beautiful wide scope.
