On Put Your Back N 2 It, Mike Hadreas filters cabaret-bred, tears-on-the-piano songwriting through indie rock dissonance, binding it all together with a voice as fragile as it is spellbinding. "Dirge" draws in listeners with hushed vocals that swerve off-balance with swiftly escalating minor notes, while "All Waters" summons a symphonic, noirish atmosphere worthy of David Lynch and "Hood" manages to be mournful, minimal, and jaunty all in the span of two minutes.
