Little Hurricane: Same Sun Same Moon Review

"Little Hurricane took time for this new collection, letting inspiration find them as they traveled through California from Alpine to Lake Tahoe with their home studio in tow. Though 'OTL' doesn't feature guitar at all, 'Bad Business' is a riff-driven track that stands out as one of the album's best, its rhythm and tone seeded in the 'dirty blues' style that Tone and C.C. pursued during their early years together."
