Opening with hints of Autobahn.

This getting quite Lou Reed-ish.

This is a track that simply wouldn't have been possible on their previous albums.

Track 4 - Expresso Love.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed May 06, 2020 8:50 pm

Hints of the riff from Leyla.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed May 06, 2020 8:52 pm

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed May 06, 2020 8:52 pm

Hints of Springsteen in the chorus.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed May 06, 2020 8:52 pm

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed May 06, 2020 8:53 pm

Here comes a guitar solo to save it.

They're still rocking tight like a proper pub-rock band here.

Less of the slick production sound that made them progressively so awful as the years of success rolled inevitably on...

"Sweat on her lips." Kenneth

Track 5 - Hand in Hand.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed May 06, 2020 8:55 pm

Entering gentler realms.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed May 06, 2020 8:56 pm

I like this one. I appreciate the melancholy.
