"Get Lost", the lead single from their week-old If you're not afraid, I'm not afraid, is another song in a wave of offerings from young songwriters who simultaneously thread the fine line between strength and vulnerability. Kicking off with a solitary guitar riff that wouldn't be out of place on a classic Cars album, "Get Lost" explores a relationship the singer knew better than to enter but doesn'…
