disco for the soul, indie pop for the drive home.
Taste Snapshot
“The kind of album that makes you want to pick up an instrument.”
“Flawless execution of an ambitious vision. This is why we love music.”
“I think this album gets slightly overlooked in discussions about the best of its era, which is a shame because it does so many things right. The arrangements are inventive without being showy, the performances are committed and emotionally present, and the overall arc of the tracklist is really well considered. My only real criticism is that it occasionally feels like it's holding back when it should be going for broke. There are moments where you can sense a bigger, bolder idea lurking just beneath the surface. But what's actually here is still great — a confident, cohesive album that rewards close listening and repeated plays.”

The kind of album that makes you want to pick up an instrument.
Incredibly well-crafted. A few moments don't work but the highs are very high.
