WOOF – The Thrill Of It All (Album)
Stream and download (by purchase) below. From production team WOOF:
We wanted to make a record with a bunch of lyricists that we were fans of and in the process not constrain ourselves too much to the typical format of a “single”…this is what happened. The record is meant to be listened to either as individual songs or as one continuous thought, either on earbuds while commuting or loud in the car/on the couch while zoning. We continued that theme through to the cover art which contains an original hand drawn and hand cut piece by Ryan de la Hoz.
