“Come back to comfortable.” The band asks us into their world and it’s a challenging journey filled with pleasant friendly surprises. Like a kazoo here and gone, a whitenoise there, but only briefly. The guitars stay pretty well moving throughout, and the vocals are fabulous. There is an on-going effort to stay several flavors ahead of the listener, a voyage I take great pleasure in sharing with these companions. Shoutouts for Why Did You Happen (“I’m the iceberg breaking off slow, you are a desert and you’re all alone. Is it by choice that you choose to be? And why did you happen to me?” and So Kind (“to be alone alone with myself, content”). Nice work. Too Dark for a Picture
