The Swedish combo is one of the few current acts truly faithful to the classic sound of early ’80s West Coast AOR.Characterized for their crystal clear studio recordings with a clinical attention to detail in the style of the L.A. Session golden era, this new State Cows collection of songs is just another superb slice of smooth AOR.

Darn, they even got the legendary Michael Landau dropping a sweet solo on one track here.
