Recorded in phases between Jim Eno’s Public Hifi in Austin, producer Daniel Black’s Bent Black studio in DC, and the band’s hometown of New Orleans, ‘Heza’ finds Generationals more satisfied in songs that breathe and grow over time.

These songs show restraint, with the hooks developing in the spaces between sounds and an attention to rhythms and textures that reveals a more patient band willing to dig for deeper gems than in their previous work.

Tracks like ‘You Got Me’ and ‘Put A Light On’ use minimalist electronic frameworks to match the intensity of more straightforward guitar work on ‘Spinoza’ and ‘I Never Know’, all of them placing the focus more on layers and arrangements than to forcing the hook.

On ‘Heza’, Generationals aren’t so much shedding their old skin as growing more comfortable in the one they’ve always inhabited.
