“Give Me Something” asks for “something to believe in” as churchy organ chords waft in; “Sweet Architect” melds a torch song and a piano hymn.

It’s an exquisitely lush, star-speckled torch song, which refracts the late-in-life stocktaking of Piaf or Sinatra through the stasis and fatalism of Talking Heads’ Heaven.

There’s even what amounts to a space-age torch song, “Ghost in a Kiss,” featuring  Samuel T. Herring of Future Islands.
