Staples, master of the pared-down lyric, offers up a variation on the pandemic blues in his first new release since Holy Moly (Barsuk Records, 2019). “Out of My Body” is a small miracle of finely-tuned folk-pop production–trimmed of excess, but brimming with warmth and curiosity. All the pieces are immediately apparent, no tricks, nothing to hide behind. Staples stretches the gentleness
of his vocal delivery to the breaking point, letting the first line I just want to talk but you’re busy busy busy practically dissolve in his mouth. A wistful electric guitar theme enters and exits, clear-eyed observations are delivered at blunt romantic
angles. A flash of synth provides incongruous echoes to his confession of depression and lethargy.
