Their shows on the West Coast—where they have a large following among lowrider and vintage soul enthusiasts—are always sold out. They are steadily gaining fans around the world, including a stint as the opening act for Lenny Kravitz’s European arena tour in March 2025. Durand Jones (vocals) released his debut album *Wait Til I Get Over* in 2023, Aaron Frazer (drums/vocals) released his second album *Into The Blue* in 2024, and Blake Rhein (guitar) released under the project name Patchwork Inc. —each showcasing their own distinct take on soul music. This new album, their first in about four years, is packed with songs that are sexier, mellower, and sweeter than ever before; every track is so good it could be released as a 7-inch single. From “Paradise” (sample_2)—with its breathtakingly gentle electric piano and silky vocals reminiscent of Stevie Wonder and Minnie Ripperton—to the mellow soul track "Flower Moon" (sample_1)—which conjures images of cruising and highway scenes—the band generously showcases their signature blend of ’70s–’80s soul, modern soul, and R&B. This is sure to become a soul classic of 2025. Highly recommended! (Original Japanese text by AYAM)
