Unknown Mortal Orchestra lands So Good at Being in Trouble like a crooked smile you can’t ignore. The track sounds new, sly, and impossible to shake, exactly the kind of song that earns instant repeats.
Jangling guitar shimmers over a dry, springy beat, while the bass keeps the whole thing moving with a loose, low-end swagger. Ruban Nielson’s voice stays cool and close, wrapped in hazy reverb and grainy little studio sparks.
Outside, the day feels brighter once this comes on, whether the windows are down or the coffee has gone cold. Few tracks make awkward charm feel this stylish, and that keeps it in the queue.
