M. Ward's records sound like they'd be right at home on late-night AM radio in just about any decade since the 50's. His last full-length, Post-War, was supposedly influenced by Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises; and a lot of the lyrics seem to tap that transitional period between tragedy and monotony. My favorite moments of this song are when there are no lyrics. It starts around the three-minute mark with just oohs and aahs, the perfect mix of guitar and percussion, and a whole lot of reverb.
