Michael's favorite album of 2018. I didn't listen to any album this year nearly as much as this one. This band just gets better and better with every album really. They should be huge by now as well, as everyone I play this band for, seems to like them. I really wish they would come to Texas so I can see them play live. I did see their former moniker, "Pete and the Pirates", back in 2009 at SXSW. They haven't come over to see us with this even better set of songs. I can't wait for the next release! "A distant voice in your head singing 'nothing matters'. Such a hard thing to do, running in between the rain drops. And until the rain stops, 'nothing matters'.
36) James-"Sayonara"  From the album 'Wah-Wah'.
