THINK LIKE A KEY MUSIC

Ex Norwegian's 10th studio album "trips into a psychedelic whirlwind of sound, with 10 cuts designed for the body and mind"—and Roger Houdaille's command of the art has never been more colorful. Hue Spotting finds Miami's most irreverent rockers trading their usual powerpop for a full-on psych expedition, creating "melodic tunes that sound like they should have been around during the late 60s whilst still having a fresh sound of today." From the "charming melody played on a melodica" in "Comfort Sands" to the "extended guitar solo, with echoes and wah-wah" treatment, this is "about as great as pop music gets in 2020" according to babysue. Houdaille's teenage crate-digging at Miami's Yesterday & Today Records finally pays off in spades—it's a love letter to classic British psychedelia that should be enjoyed "responsibly" (whatever that means in a post-Post Malone world).
