deanizquierda Are you a daydreamer? What grips me about The Isle of Forgotten Dreams is that its the soundtrack to a movie only you can see. The transitions and lyrics keep you in touch with the plot and characters, but the undeniable moods of the songs make for seamless imaginings.

My very first attempt to hear the album put me in such ease, it was no less than falling asleep in a hammock.

I recommend this to everyone, and my favorite track keeps revolving. A truly sincere masterpiece.

keithjarvis My favorite will probably change a few times. This album is LUSH. No other single word for it, except maybe for ...
Lovely.
Calming.
Healing.

Respite.

I want to hear this and cry and laugh and breathe after the 2020 we've had so far.

Thank you Josh and Danica.

Favorite track: Sail On, My Love.

about

HULA HI-FI Nashville, Tennessee

Our new record is a musically fun & relaxed spin on the unpleasant feelings that can accompany one's experience w/ disappearing love.
