A catchy roots-rock record that blends jangle pop and early-’90s alternative vibes with a strong 60s throwback feel.

The acoustic arrangements and Byrds-esque harmonies give it a warm, melodic backbone, making it feel like it sits in the same family wirh The Jayhawks and Tom Petty.

It’s fun without feeling lightweight — polished enough to hook you, but still has some authentic rough edges.

Highlights for me include “Monday Morning,” “Maybe It’s Just Not Good Enough,” and “I Will Give You Everything,” along with the reflective “We Don’t Talk Much Anymore,” “Too Bad You Say It’s Over,” and “What Can I Say.”

There’s a breezy charm throughout, built on jangly riffs and classic pop-rock instincts. It may not reinvent anything, but it delivers well-crafted, throwback songwriting that’s easy to enjoy.
