Remember how excited we were when the Rubber Soul covers album was announced? What about how let down we all were when Sufjan’s “What Goes On” cover leaked? Well, this might very well be the first good track from the album. “Looking Through You” sounds a bit like Ted’s earlier work, but it’s still got [...]

I’ll swear up and down that the Tullycraft that I listened to months ago is not the Tullycraft that I gave a second chance today.
