Teller, who is 29, has amazing vocal restraint that combines honey-warmth and cracked weariness, giving the impression of multiple lifetimes lived. The four ballads on Sweat sound like they were recorded in an abandoned shack in the bottom of a hollow and, lyric-wise, they’re about as spooky as an old-fashioned ghost or vampire story.
