(The case expanded to a separate count, ultimately upheld by a judge, that Kesha defamed Gottwald in a text to Lady Gaga that falsely claimed he raped Katy Perry.)

AFTER FORMING at Columbia University, the boat-shoe-wearing blog-loved indie-pop crew toned down the sunny globe-trotting guitars of their 2008 debut and stared down quarter-life crisis with a broodingly lovely album of reflections on morality, God, uncertainty, and romantic decay; fittingly, they debuted Modern Vampire's first single, "Unbelievers", dressed as skeletons on late-night TV just days after Hurricane Sandy shut down New York, and on songs like "Diane Young" and "Hannah Hunt", Ezra Koenig turns the search for faint glints of redemption in his own emotional wreckage into a drama of Dylan-esque grandeur.
