Sun-drenched Australian fusion recorded in Havana. A celebratory blend of brassy ska, Cuban percussion, and turntable-inflected jazz that feels like a permanent summer.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive brass refrain in Sly that immediately sets a high-velocity festival tone.
The transition into the dub-heavy, hypnotic groove of the title track Two Shoes.
The sprawling, multi-part epic conclusion of The Night That Never End where the band fully leans into their improvisational jazz roots.
