Afie Jurvanen's fourth LP notches irresistible, almost defiantly chill grooves. Although opener "Alone" floats low on a Bill Callahan vocal, the album defines behind the rhythm section for D'Angelo's Black Messiah, Pino Palladino and James Gadson, who lend the recording a sly and cool funk ethos, laid-back but invigorating. "Opening Act (The Shooby Dooby Song)" slides soulful against Jurvanen's scattering wordplay and "Show Me Naomi" jags with sharpened guitar licks ahead of the mellow tones to "No Expectations." The entire production is clever and suave, with effervescent female backing vox, even as the backside ranges more adventurous with the low-down "Bad Boys Need Love Too" and tinkering "Everything to Everyone."
