A Clean Break (Let's Work) (Live; 2004 Remaster) by Talking Heads lands here because it keeps the soulful / slow-burn ache pull alive without sanding off the grain that makes this hour interesting.

The cut moves with a slow-burn glide, which is why it can hold this turn without flattening it.
Listen for the alternative / indie rock texture in the pocket, especially in the way the arrangement keeps color moving under the lead. It also leaves a lane for Slide to arrive without the segue feeling forced.
