Sophomore release from this Chicago-based group. The sound is light alt-country rock. Songs are all generally mid-tempo and sort of sad. The singer tends to sing very slow at times, stretching out words and such, and adding to the sadness. Lyrics are okay, ranging from narrative to random phrases. A little too close to what I’d call "adult contemporary". Track 1 is okay. FCC clean.

**1. Bouncy up tempo beat over slower vocals. Funny chorus. Little rockier ending.
2. Twangy rock number.
3. Slow with a few loud buildups.
4. Some rhymes. Some synths in the mix.
5. Slow. Lyrics include randomness about samurais, alcohol, and photons.
6. Sugary. Nice percussion.
7. Slowest tune. Sad narrative memory of something. Vocals crackle out some.
8. Upbeat. Louder vocals, more twangy. Silly lyrics about his garden.
