As the massive wall of guitar and brass announces itself at the beginning of the song, I was taken aback by the boldness and confidence of the arrangement. Lead lines weave in and out over the driving rhythm section, conjuring images of a spirited late-night jam session. Daniel is in top form, hitting great notes with grit and presence. Dense textures enrich the arrangement into a richly textured opus. No part feels unnecessary – each element plays an important role in building the atmosphere. The recording has a lived-in, retro analog flavor while maintaining pristine clarity across all frequencies. You can pick out each instrument in the full-bodied mix. It’s an artist’s work fully in control of their sound and vision.
