Abbey Road was my favorite Beatles album, so I enjoy listening to other people's interpretations of the songs, (usually), and this one happens to be very good.

"The irreverent-but-still-faithful take on Abbey Road is apparent from the very beginning, as “Come Together” adopts a looser, less sinister arrangement from the original, with Amanda O’Keefe – one of several rotating vocalists on this project – belting out John Lennon‘s words with funky, torch song abandon, especially as the band unleashes a gospel-flavored outro that DeMello likens to “a funeral march”. On the other hand, George Harrison‘s timeless ballad “Something” is lovingly rougher around the edges but retains some similarities, including a note-for-note version of Harrison’s guitar solo, welcoming the listener like an old friend."

A mesmerizing Rube Goldberg contraption of French house, vaporwave, -DMs both I and E, and countless subcategories across electronic and sample-based music. Matt DeMello
A peerless LP documenting one melancholic cross-country soul searching adventure filtered through grungy shoegaze and spacey folk of the highest orders. Vonnegut references compliments of the house. Matt DeMello
