Saudades de Rock

A gritty, analog-soaked return to form. Stripped-back funk-metal grooves meet bluesy slide guitar and those unmistakable four-part vocal harmonies.

It's the sound of a legendary band finally growing into their blues-rock shoes without losing the funk.

A gritty, soulful reclamation of classic rock swagger tempered by mature reflection.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden shift into a country-stomp rhythm during the bridge of Take Us Alive

The way the vocal harmonies swell into a massive Queen-esque wall on the chorus of Star

The gritty, bone-dry bass line that anchors the opening groove of Comfortably Dumb

The delicate piano transition that carries the emotional weight of Peace (Saudade)
