California's beloved Brainstory returns with a new EP celebrating the end of an era. Shoebox Days is an homage to the time spent and the recordings made at their now defunct Long Beach studio, aptly named Shoebox. As the name suggests, the space was tiny and stuffed with gear. While charming, it was riddled with constraints. But, as has been proven time and time again, great art often comes from difficult circumstances, and this new 7 song EP is further proof.The first track, 'The Watchers,' opens with an earworm horn melody that immediately pulls you in. The crunchy drums and G Funk bass tones put a bop on it, lush orchestration weaves in and out and sets a mellow vibe. 'Blend,' one of only two vocal tracks on the EP, is a California sunshine soaked love song walking the lines of psych rock ballad and B side soul. 'Twin Kitchen' leans you right back into your seat, with Eric Hagstrom's in-the-pocket drumming carrying the tune. 'Home Alone' is singer Kevin Martin's ever so relatable tribute to time by himself, time by today's standards as 'disconnected,' but in reality, much more connected The fellas let some of the jazz background take front stage on 'Lone Traveler,' starting out with an air tight groove, and letting loose over it as the track progresses. 'Gravity Hill' named after the famed California oddity begins the ending of the EP as Brainstory takes it deep and brings us with them. 'Necessary Loss' serves as the closer to this gorgeous journey.
