Jun 6, 2018It doubles down on his distinctively mellow, '60s- and '70s-vintage sound. This time around, after demoing the songs with a four-track tape machine, he borrowed an eight-track reel-to-reel recorder to capture the official takes with his band.

Jun 6, 2018It's hard not to want some of what he's having. Elsewhere, "Health Machine" adds a delightful dose of fuzz, whilst "Next to You" and "Now I Feel It" groove beautifully, all the while adorned by beautifully placed and processed vocals, on which the echo and reverb is just perfect. A true early summer delight.
