Thee Sacred Souls
"My Heart is Drowning" b/w "Stuck in the Mud"

The moody, mid-tempo mover "My Heart is Drowning" opens with a foreboding, echo-drenched drip that lurks behind singer Josh Lane's tale of a forlorn lover who's past mistakes have left him drowning in despair. "Stuck in the Mud" also leans towards an earlier R&B sound but with a subtle tinge of gospel via the call and response vocals that permeate this impeccably heartfelt composition.

With its vibey groove and infectious background melody "Nobody Gets My Love" marries the visceral rawness of late sixties Detroit sides ala Hestor and Wylie with a relaxed West Coast je ne sais quoi.
