Darnielle’s strength is words, which he crafts with the flair of a novelist and the intensely personal touch of a committed diarist. After delving (uncomfortably, at times) into his personal issues with love and loss on 2005’s The Sunset Tree and 2006’s Get Lonely, Darnielle sounds looser and funnier on 2008’s Heretic Pride, though the gap between his quotable lyrics and anemic music is wider than ever.Metro 3730 N Clark St, Chicago, IL
