Why Lawd?

A masterfully dusty collection of soul vignettes. Raspy vocals glide over warm, crackling loops that feel like a sunset drive through Los Angeles.

It's the ultimate 'windows down, sun setting' record for people who love their soul music with a bit of grit.

A sun-drenched, bittersweet reflection on love and growth, wrapped in warm analog crackle.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The seamless transition from the gritty 86Sentra into the melancholic sway of MoveOn.

The way the bassline on KeepHer anchors the hazy, psychedelic vocal layers.

The nostalgic, sun-soaked guitar lick that opens Daydreaming, evoking a 1970s soul daydream.
