i think i liked charlie’s solo album more than the hovvdy album

 

Great, thanks everyone, looking forward to making a playlist and discover something new that I like.

Funny that nobody has mentioned Downhaul’s Proof, since it’s my favorite record of the year. That whole vibe around that record is something special.
