There's the Decemberists' eight-minute cure for insomnia ironically titled "Sleepless," for starters, but after you get drowsy skip on to the pair of cuts which feature the National twins. First there's Bryce Dessner sitting in with Antony on the rolling, open-road acoustic cut "I Was Young When I Left Home," which sees Hegarty embodying yet another of Arthur Russell's various, varying modes, the song sounding something like an outtake to last year's outstanding Chris Taylor-compiled Russell rarity comp Love Is Overtaking Me. After that there's a second contribution from Justin Vernon, who joins with Aaron Dessner, a piano, and a string section on "Big Red Machine." Listen:
