This comment was exactly my thoughts aswell, although I have played this record in my car for more than a year now 😍 But seriously the amount of presicion and velocity control it takes to emulate a delay like he does here, I think is greatly underestimated by a many people hearing it. Astonishing.

It has this amazing dreamy tone, and the base is super present without being over powering, and the drummer is also just too dang good. What an awesome band

The power to heal a broken heart, to ease a suffering mind, to alter and enhance our lives in ways that leave us feeling better and being better to each other.
