I continue to be blown away by these guys. All have had an active year of touring and recording, yet they managed to gift us with THIS! My first exposure to Dave King was the Trucking Company, August 2018, at The Royal Room in Seattle. Honestly, the more I listen to this, the more I feel it isn't enough. I need to see them live again!

Epic! The more I listen the more I love it. I honestly can't describe the content in this submission. Every listening reveals a new level. This is a band that BADLY NEEDS TO BOOK SOME GIGS! (Okay. I'm frustrated, having been screwed out of my Bad Plus shows and Seattle basically being THE FRIGGEN KLONDIKE!)
