about

Allan Raible (The Slums Of Mediocrity) and singer-songwriter Samuel Bean have known each other literally their entire lives. They both grew up in Brooklyn 3 houses down from each other. Bean is now based in Austin, TX., but last Christmas when he came home, Raible and Bean met up and crafted a fun record together with moments of levity and seriousness. This is the sound of two friends letting loose creatively, merging Raible's punk, electronic and trip-hop influences with Bean's more organic acoustic folk approach. This is the sound of sonic worlds colliding. This is the sound of two longtime friends creating something as profound as it is ridiculous. This is an eclectic joyride unlike anything else you have probably ever heard!

A beautiful masterpiece of a record combining power-pop with an emotional edge. There isn't a bad song here. Pop craft doesn't get much better or more appealing. The Slums of Mediocrity
