The elevator dings, and they awkwardly step in, their fingers touch on the rooftop button… “Don’t jump little boy, don’t jump off that roof, you’ve got your whole life ahead of you you’re still in your youth, I’d give anything to have skin like you!” She looks him up and down with a Botox frown, he’s well used to that look by now. Vickers perfume on her breath, a tortoise-shell necklace between her breasts. Hair pulled so tight you can see her skeleton. Her heels are high and her bag is snakeskin. He waits for an elevator, 1 to 9, a lady walks in and waits by his side. Headphone wielding to the Nicholas Building, he trips on a pothole that’s not been filled in. Sit on the grass building pyramids out of Coke cans.” He screams “I’m not going to work today! Gonna count the minutes that the trains run late. Rips off his tie, hands it to a homeless man, sleeping in the corner of a Metro bus stand. Wakes up at a quarter past nine, fare evades his way down the 96 tram line.īreakfast on the run again, he’s well aware he’s dropping soy linseed Vegemite crumbs everywhere.įeeling sick at the sight of his computer he dodges his way through the Swanston commuters. Oliver Paul, twenty years old, thick head of hair worries he’s going bald.

^ "Chris Thile: Thanks for Listening".So composed is he in his task that listeners may miss the seething undercurrent fueling lyrics inveighing against the alienating dangers of social media in the echo-laced “Feedback Loop” but will have no trouble identifying the object of derisive barbs hurled in the more muscular “Falsetto” (“Froggy thinks his whistle is the Liberty Bell,” for one)." Track listing Playing almost all the stringed instruments himself-with the mandolin employed in an Impressionistic manner-and joined vocally on occasion by Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O’Donovan, and Gaby Moreno, Thile gracefully, nay ethereally, serves up ten songs he wrote last year for A Prairie Home Companion. Throughout, of course, Thile's virtuosic mandolin shines, but here, he's got a greater goal than reminding us that he is peerless on the instrument-with Thanks for Listening, Thile is both extending his sincere gratitude to us for coming along on his ride and laying down tracks toward wherever this might take him." ĭavid McGee of The Absolute Sound noted "Very much a meditative, singer-songwriter affair, Thank You for Listening finds Chris Thile offering bromides to a society roiled by political, social media, and cultural upheavals in 2017. Thile’s approach ranges from the minimalist, solo “Balboa” to the supersized, urban love-letter “Thank You, New York” to “Feedback Loop,” a commentary on our social media addiction that could pass as a lost Simon & Garfunkel classic. Jeff Tamarkin of Relix stated " Thanks for Listening is a compendium of 10 of those newly penned songs, rerecorded in the studio and presented as something of an overview of where he is as a performer and composer these days, and doubling as an invitation to check out how he’s remodeled the place. At AnyDecentMusic?, that collates critical reviews from more than 50 media sources, the album scored 6.7 points out of 10. The album was released via Nonesuch Records label on December 8, 2017 ( ).Īt Metacritic, that assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 72, based on six reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews". Thanks for Listening is the seventh full-length studio album by American mandolinist Chris Thile.
