The Whigs’ Parker Gispert channels My Morning Jacket’s Jim James and takes his satin tone to a sandpaper surface. The kick-drum jabs and the cymbals sting, but the sucker punch is the wall of guitars — bright, triumphant, and yet still growling. A squealing solo ushers in a shattering climax until the gas runs out and Gispert, running on fumes over feedback, connects with one more punchline: “We got your money, now we’ll make a new start.”
