"Mykonos" doesn’t travel as far as its title suggests, but thrives on the tension between Lester Freamon Toe-Taps the Blues’s wordless vocal intro and the band’s intricate harmonies. Of course, it careens off in new directions. Pecknold pleads, bringing the song to a dramatic standstill. Then the band just runs away with the song again.
