Album Notes & Community Reviews

Alexander Brettin's musical collective delivers a remarkably smooth, jazz-inflected sophomore album exploring the aesthetics of 1970s soft rock and Los Angeles lounge pop. The record is conceptually framed as an investigation into American music and identity, driven by woozy synthesizers, intricate basslines, and hazy, lethargic vocal melodies. It became a foundational, highly influential release within the burgeoning bedroom pop and modern neo-psychedelia movements.
