SOUNDS LIKE
• T. Hardy Morris and Saintseneca get lost in the woods
• Next generation of heart-on-the-sleeve-wearing New Jersey singer-songwriters brings back some local cooking from a road trip with Uncle Tupelo and Ryan Adams

HIGHLIGHTS
• Stream of consciousness lyrics + half-drunk drawl delivery
• Good dynamics – A little alt country, a little punk rock, a little indie pop
• Old Friends, Aphasia, Waveform, New Friends

LOWLIGHTS
• Emo falsetto can be a little too much at times, and soften the delivery
• Feels a little demo-ish – Waveform didn’t feel fully finished
• Was a bit too short – 8 songs in 30 minutes just left me wanting more

OVERALL RATING
Kevin: 3/5
Derek: 4/5
