The second single from Trouble In Dreams, "Dark Leaves Form A Thread", was debuted by Pitchfork earlier today. "Leaves", in contrast to "Foam Hands", released a couple of months ago, is a decidedly more upbeat affair, with shimmering, new wave keyboards holding the attention of the listener. Strangely enough, the song is highly reminiscent of The Cure. Listen for yourself at the top of the post.
