Chris Mott & Daun (Ex- Landlord, Purple 7, The Door-keys, Fat Shadow+) enlisted old friend Jacob Hamilton (Tubers/Telepathic Lines) on drums and the trio have returned with some of their best material to date for their third album, "The Shining". Indie pop punk at it's best- catchy & energetic, yet laid back and groovin' when they wanna. Probably our favorite record to drop this year. Gonna be hard to beat this one.
