New Music of the Day, January 24:

Spector, "Untitled in D"

2018's still young, but I doubt we'll get much better lines than "You're not like the other guys/ Institutionalized." Unless it's "Tell me everything/ I've forgotten/ Not excluding/ How to be a human being." Musically, this is very different from anthemic early Spector tracks like "Celestine" and "Chevy Thunder"--the songs that sent Fred Perry-clad lads into a slamdancing frenzy when I saw the band perform in London a few years ago. But Spector's aura of sardonic cool and witty lyrics are still intact.
