Life's Aquarium

Mint Condition

A lush, live-instrumented masterclass in late-90s soul. Sophisticated arrangements meet deep Minneapolis grooves for an experience that is both carnal and cerebral.

Moments Worth Listening For
The cinematic swell of the Clare Fischer-arranged strings on 'If You Love Me' that elevates the track from a standard ballad to a grand opus.
The sudden shift from smooth R&B to a raw, sprawling fourteen-minute jam on 'Leave Me Alone' that showcases the band's improvisational telepathy.
The rhythmic interplay between the dry, popping bassline and Stokley's syncopated vocal delivery during the verses of 'Touch That Body'.
