Man, “Fervor” just hits differently, right from that dreamy minor chord intro. Colin Wolf’s guitar picks out this smoky dream-pop vibe, then Quincy Wellen kicks in on the drums with this slick 5/4 groove that’s got a jazzy bounce you don’t hear…

Right from the opening groove, “Memories Made” hooks you with its warm, funk-pop-jazz fusion vibe. Think staccato guitar riffs mixing with a mellow bassline that just refuses to sit still. Colin Wolf’s voice has this easygoing charm, like he’s telling you a…
