Hot Streets

A pivot toward disco-tinged pop and slick studio polish. High-gloss horns and resilient harmonies recorded in the wake of profound loss.

It's the sound of a legendary band trading their jazz-rock grit for a shimmering disco-pop glow-up.

A resilient and polished celebration of moving forward, characterized by bright brass and smooth, optimistic melodies.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The triumphant burst of horns on 'Alive Again' signaling a band's refusal to quit.

The Bee Gees-esque vocal harmonies on 'Little Miss Lovin' that lean fully into the disco era.

The smooth, almost effortless transition into the chorus of 'No Tell Lover' that defines the yacht rock aesthetic.
