Overview
- It’s Beautiful is out now on Matador, presenting reimagined versions of “Born 2,” “Nights in Armor,” and “Playing Classics” as a follow-on to the duo’s August album.
- Nate Amos says the new takes on “Born 2” and “Nights in Armor” hew closer to their earliest forms, and he rebuilt a longer “Playing Classics” as a faster cut with car sound effects.
- “Nights in Armor” is stripped to Brown’s voice and acoustic guitar and shifts into a 7/4 feel, highlighting the vocal-forward approach noted across the set.
- Two tracks carry new titles: “Born 2” appears as “Born 4,” and “Playing Classics” returns as “Driving Classics, Playing Cars.”
- The band is on a European run this week with shows in Lyon, Barcelona, Madrid, and Lisbon, and will support Hayley Williams on most dates of her 2026 tour.
