Even in 2026, this is one of my favourite summer albums. The first disc (tracks 1-14) is high positivity, high energy house bangers from start to end, Freemasons don't drop a beat. To be honest the quality on the second disc is a little bit less, there's just a few less catchy tunes to go round - but they've cranked up the mood so well my score's already set. Big recommendation.
I've had this record on repeat recently. It just hits the perfect balance between synth and analog, psychedelic and crisp clear beats, wavy and dancy, old and new. There's a lot here to be discovered.
There is absolutely nothing original going on here, but the execution is so on point that it doesn't matter. It may be the most pleasant sounding and soothing album of the year, and in a time where most music is made to invoke strong emotions, it's a nice change of pace.
Very fun record. Lots of musical influence and different instruments (music needs more flutes!), but the rhythm section forms a very consistent identity throughout the record. It's a prime example of how a drummer can lead a band well.
