Reviews:
The sound of Premium recalls a sunbaked cassette of Pet Sounds or George Harrison’s “Apple Scruffs,” composed with glowing guitar chords, aching pedal steel, Wurlitzers and iconic 20th-century synths. Inspired by the soulful sounds of Jackson Browne, Shuggie Otis, Sly and the Family Stone, and The Band, as well as contemporary influences such as Cass McCombs, Mac DeMarco and Chris Cohen, this is music meant for the close-up experience: spacious, dreamy, fun, and disarmingly open and honest. Premium was recorded with Austin Vaughn (Here We Go Magic, Luke Temple), Brian Betancourt (Hospitality, Here We Go Magic, Luke Temple), Michael Coleman (Chris Cohen’s band). Other guest performers include vocalists Cassandra Jenkins and Hannah Cohen, Shahzad Ismaily, Eddie Barbash (saxophonist on the Colbert show), Dan lead (Cass McCombs) and Steve Marion (aka Delicate Steve).
