A cool, damp breeze blows through these grooves, smelling of wet London pavement and salt air. The heavy blues of the past dissolves into spacious, sun-dappled jams, led by a chiming acoustic guitar and the warm hum of a Fender Rhodes. You are drifting through a soft-focus landscape where the songs stretch out like late-afternoon shadows. It is the sound of a band exhaling, finding a gentler, more melodic way to float.
