“Puppet Laureate” is an uptempo tune with an insistent drum beat that sets the pace right from the start. Vinyl Floor picks up the pace with this one. The acoustic guitars sound warmer, and the layered vocal harmonies sound deeper, resulting in a more complete, more communal performance. With winds added, the track’s sonic palette is further expanded, a lively contrast to the persistent rhythm section. The instrumentation is well-balanced, with no one element taking over, giving Vinyl Floor an energetic, textured track. “Puppet Laureate” is a lively listen, full of motion and melodic nuance that rewards repeated listens.
