The album kicks off with the catchy Tom Petty-esque ballad, “The Getaway,” a song about two lovers that “rob a little store by the interstate” — a modern twist on the traditional romanticized folk narrative of highway robbers. Ellingsen’s guitar work is twangy and filled with arpeggiated melodies that evokes the sound of 1980s jangle pop bands like R.E.M. and Green on Red.
