A Break From My Playlists
Josh DSome tracks on here I liked, but ultimately not my jam. A little too chaotic for me in parts.

Best of 2024
Jason DettbarnTheir fifth album is a return to the form of their earlier works, but through the lens of an older/more mature and better (technically) group of musicians. You’ll hear the bass flourishes, the pianos, the familiar drum patterns, and the catchy guitar leads you enjoyed on those early records. But you’ll also hear more orchestral elements, string & horn sections, and jazzy instrumental freak outs that come from more confident songwriters.
