Drinking beer, rotting in bed, and making music with the best of friends – these everyday moments metamorphose into sacred memories on Eli Josef's third and final album. The sometimes mournful, sometimes jubilant self-titled project serves as an alt.country time capsule of a young group navigating their local Austin/San Marcos scene.
Tone-setting opener"Cowboy Therapy" draws inspiration from Eighties monster truck derbies, while upbeat"Animal Habits" wrestles wry humor out of existential dread:"." To saloon-ready piano lines, pedal steel sendoff"Sasha" transforms small-town fatigue , marking one chapter's end and another's beginning for the band. Farewell for now, Eli Josef, and thanks for the good times.
