Pressed play! Wasn't too sure about this one until Allie Jones kicked off. What a groove!

@Jangles you're crazy for glossing over Back Seat Lover... but maybe that'll get ya in spin 2!

@harlanworld I usually have a more passive listen my first time around to see what stands out on its own. Definitely will be going back in with the shoutout in mind.

I think Backseat Lover and The Innocent might sound a little too sterile for them to hit me. They’re great . They do what they’re trying to do really well. They didn’t feel like an introduction to Hawthorne for me, though. They made me think of other artists from the 80s that the sound reminds me of.

Might just be me, but that baseline in The Sars Are Ours immediately sounded like Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground

The percussion in All Better is so on point. That little reverb'y wood block at the end of every fourth measure is awesome.

Where Does This Door Go > Robot Love is easily my favorite part of the album. The little transition at the end of the traffic with the robot voices is pretty hilarious.
