Even the time-honored Freshmen A Cappella Jam may be cut short this year (hey, we didn’t say every development would be negative). And we expect ice cream socials to soon become ice cube socials or just cream socials. Freshmen might actually go hungry this year or grow fatigued without this sustenance—necessary to maintaining those inhuman enthusiasm levels during the first days on campus. Opening Days just won’t be the same without those sugar-induced, grinning faces...

...lifting a melody out of the muck and into the stratosphere, where lead singer Ed Droste asks, "Would you always, maybe sometimes/ Make it easy." It's the sweetest way imaginable to ask someone to chill. "Fine for Now" meanders through all sorts of paces and styles, from a cappella church music to jazz, before settling its focus on a mildly psychedelic cymbal that crashes like the gentlest of waves...
