Vance Joy is no longer the same starry-eyed boy “scared of dentists and the dark,” as he describes himself on his recently-released sophomore album, “Nation of Two.” The Australian singer-songwriter maintains his signature acoustic simplicity and combines it with unique, personal narratives to craft songs that stand out for their upbeat, infectious sound and light,
