Cohen was master of a tone whose high seriousness depends on a cultivated sense of the absurd and vice versa — his songs, deeply felt as they are, wouldn't twinge your heartstrings with such alluring pathos if the pathos weren't also somehow laughable, an approach captured in the way his plain recitation flickers with self-aware humor, as if a joke about people reciting poetry.

Dry, aching voices, crude horn honk, noodling jazz guitar, quietly crackling flickers of static, all this gets played against clean electronic surfaces and squiggly synthesizers to shape a sonic disparity that also serves to contextualize both sides — the soul/jazz material sounds old and weird partially because hearing it during a speedy dance mix creates the illusion of discovery, as if Moodymann were sorting through piles in the back of a record store, playing Big Muff's "My Funny Valentine" cover for the first time, and falling in love with the glittering keyboards and liquid bassline.
The ways you get to that detached, or in ACT-speak, "defused" state, where you see those thoughts simply as flickers in your brain waves, can seem weird at first: You can sing the thought, a technique Stambach favored ("I'm gonna panic in front of everyone," he would croon, which made it seem less serious); distill it down to a single word and repeat it rapid-fire for 30 seconds ("faint, faint, faint, faint"); describe it as a color and shape ("my craving is red and circular, with jagged edges"); or use conscious language to separate yourself from the emotion.
