Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by former members of Smith Westerns and Unknown Mortal Orchestra, the Chicago band delivers a stunningly warm, deeply nostalgic debut. The incredibly brief, 30-minute album relies heavily on bright brass arrangements, crisp acoustic guitars, and Julien Ehrlich's yearning falsetto. It acts as a flawless, sun-drenched piece of indie-pop designed specifically for hazy summer drives and romantic nostalgia.
