Conceived between Hawaii and California, the fifth studio album from Ruban Nielson's project is heavily influenced by 'hapa haole' music and West Coast AOR. The production bathes its complex, jazz-inflected chord progressions in warm, lo-fi psychedelia and slacker-rock aesthetics. It is a deeply personal, sun-drenched exploration of family dynamics and cultural heritage.
