Album Notes & Community Reviews

Heavily influenced by 1960s pop-rock legends like The Beatles and The Band, the fifth studio album from the Philadelphia group is a masterful display of retro-leaning songwriting. The tracks are exceptionally polished, featuring intricate, McCartney-esque basslines, sweeping vocal harmonies, and warm acoustic arrangements. The record served as a major critical breakthrough, earning them spots on numerous late-night television shows.
