defining through-line is Jacob's signature relatability and
self-reflective sense of humor, which creates an endearing layer of
viscera where the real and the surreal converge."

"Psychic Lines has crafted a work in Sunset on Sunset that
is both grounded and expansive. It's rooted in folk, pop, and rock
traditions while daring to explore the outer edges of these genres.
It's a record that rewards repeated listens, revealing new details and
emotions with each spin. Don't miss it."

songs become more adventurous, free-minded and explorative."
