This can be summed up with a few well-chosen words: smooth, suave, sophisticated, polished, the album is all of these and much more. Singer Huey's gravelly voice complements the laid-back nature of the tracks perfectly, and the musicianship is immaculate. The singles chosen from this album perhaps didn't really do justice to it, in terms of giving the wrong impression: certainly 'Korean Bodega' is one of the most mainstream-sounding tracks on it, and this band isn't about mainstream at all. Taken in the context of the album the track works well but as a single it fails to give the real sense of the album: mean New York streets, shady deals, that sort of thing - which is what this album is all about. If you like Come Find Yourself then you'll love this, a natural progression from that album's more raw sounds. Here's to the next release!
