Away from the World is the first Dave Matthews Band record in 14 years to be produced by Steve Lillywhite and recalls their ‘90s heyday—the dynamic, orchestral folk-pop of “Mercy,” for example—without falling victim to retracing their steps. They go for broke with some heavy riffage on the stomping, high-energy “Rooftop,” and “Belly Belly Nice” is a majorly funky, toe-tapping trip. It ends with the nearly 10-minute “Drunken Soldier,” as Matthews offers life advice over delicate folk, rockin’ crescendos, and hazy, soft funk.
