Garage Rock, Blues Rock, Hard Rock

Members: Jeff Angell - Vocals & Guitar, Benjamin Anderson - Keys & Bass, Joshua Fant - Drums

Jeff Angell, along with key collaborator Benjamin Anderson (Walking Papers & The Missionary Position), were offered the opportunity by UDR to expand on the sound they had defined in their previous bands, The Missionary Position, Post Stardom Depression and Walking Papers. They recruited Post Stardom Depression drummer Joshua Fant, entered a rehearsal room in early 2015 in Seattle, WA and started, as Angell calls it, "putting in the time." "While we were writing the songs for this record I was having some strange dreams.” Angell remembers. “I usually write narratively or autobiographically. There is still plenty of that in this record, but I also wanted to bring some of what I remember from those dreams into the songs as well." The songs swing and shuffle savagely. They are dynamic and diverse, and while each stands as an achievement on its own. Together they provide an ever-changing escape into a variety of audio environments, with Angell's narrative and vivid imagery lighting the way.

Angell’s voice can best be described as lived in. It is smokey, versatile and articulate but most importantly, believable. With it he tells the stories of colorful characters, contemplates relationships, and shares dreamy imagery, all the while spurring the listener to expand on the limits we allow ourselves to go.
