Sure to top many 2021 album-of-the-year lists, the debut full-length from Fred Thomas' Idle Ray project is one of those magical albums that's unmistakably full of life and enthusiasm. Sounding both wonderfully fresh and like an unearthed '90s slacker-rock record, Idle Ray is a fuzzy, genre-hopping gem of unparalleled goodness.

Released on Life Like. Listen on Bandcamp.
