Soulful consolidation
A deeper, more resonant bottom end anchors this second effort, as the group transitions from mere disciples to confident masters of the American rhythm and blues canon. The energy is loose but dangerous, trading the frantic rush of their debut for a swinging pocket that feels remarkably physical in its mono mix. While still relying heavily on US covers, the performances carry a soulful, self-assured swagger that suggests a band finding its own distinct identity.
Soulful saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
