It’s been evident for a while, but now that mandolinist and bandleader Chris Thile has been officially designated a MacArthur fellowship-approved genius, perhaps you’ll finally go check out one of the meanest progressive bluegrass outfits working today. Who’s Feeling Young Now, the wonderful album they released back in February, finally carves out a space for their longtime fan-favorite junkyard-acoustic cover of Radiohead’s digital lullaby “Kid A,” but the real treasures are the originals, as ever, and this time they include one song dedicated to New York City.
