I was all over Slowdaze back in 2019/2020, picking up 3 songs in quick succession for the blog. Turns out it wasn't a fluke, beause flash forward 6+ years and he's still able to pique my interest.
"Opals" is a bit less vocal-focused and a bit more groove-focused. It's still recognizably Slowdaze, but there are major hints of acts like Jungle and Maribou State in there as well. The slow build up hits all the right notes and culminates wonderfully. Pretty sure it's going to be an easy-pleaser for most indie rock fans.
