I listened to this for the first time on my way in to work this morning and hot damn it sounds so good. Needs to be played as loud as possible which I kinda love about it. Produced by the same guy that worked on Guilty of Everything so makes sense it has that nice heaviness to it without leaning too much into anything metal.
Desperately need to catch up on these genres now that Fall is approaching. What are some of peoples' favorites of the year?

Thanks for the recs, guys. Lots to check out! Here’s one from me. The dude from ambient band Hammock’s wife put out an album today. She’s sung on their stuff before, and the album has a similar atmosphere and tone to it but obviously with more pop. Really enjoyed my first listen, the back-half is seriously beautiful.
Fucking love Superheaven. Both the albums are still in my general listening rotation. Webbed Wing has also been a great follow up project from Taylor and Jake that still kinda scratches my itch for that sound even though most of it sounds more like Lemonheads than grunge
