A lot of people have given The Hold Steady shit for not shaking up their sound enough on the tracks they've released thus far off Heaven Is Whenever. "Barely Breathing" should put and end to that talk. Piano rolls, a clarinet solo, and Craig Finn's dreamy wailing sounds like something out of a swing club in The Twilight Zone rather than the dive bar image they usually provoke. Can't say they haven't been listening. Heaven Is Whenever drops May 4th.
