Listening to two guys tonight.

The more ostentatious lyrics aside, it’s kind of impressive how much restraint there is with the vocal hooks and the musical hooks. I can see how this could be boring but it feels like a solid, assured grower to me at the moment.

This is perfect for me. All I need to listen to records at decent sound quality in one 15”x25” stand (Andover subwoofer comes next week). I can stay in Los Angeles where I’ll never afford enough bedrooms to dedicate one to a full audiophile system and not sacrifice too much sound quality!!! My...
