Hitting the Highway

There’s a languidity that floats through a lot of this record; Square One, Night Driver, Turn this Car Around, This Old Down, and The Golden Rose….. These are songs to cruise to. They’re songs to be chewed on and savoured rather than hastily gulped down. You can feel the evening sun warming your skin as your drive with the top down listening to this album before arriving at a house in the woods, where you the songs become much more a cellar aged cognac in front of the fire than they are a light beer. There’s a depth and colour to the album overall that ties the whole together sonically rather than thematically. Check out the "Eat the Pudding" Podcast here!
