Dan Luke and The Raid - Out Of The Blue (2019) [Hi-Res]

'It's like a coming-of-age crisis', says Daniel Shultz about 'Out of the Blue', the messy and melodic debut album from his band, Dan Luke and the Raid. Throughout the album's ten tracks, the music throbs and pulses and twitches and buzzes with the energy and enthusiasm and inexperience of youth, bursting with harsh, distorted guitar chords, blown-out synths squiggles and hopped-up rhythms - as well as, on occasion, moments of stunning and sincere melodic beauty.
