TREES,BEASTS ANDBEYOND
The three records that get us to …Frankenstein
”CHERRY TREE”
(2004) There’s something about …Frankenstein that recalls this EP from the band’s early days, back when Berninger’s vocals lay a little lower and more muttered, and the songs carried a sense of quiet dread. Out of the mud of them, a song like “About Today” could rise up — intricate, urgent, lovesick; like a musical lump in the throat. It would set the course for many of the standout tracks of the band’s career, among them, “New Order T-Shirt”.
