From Label:
As Watson puts it, his inspiration came not just from the Gosling action flick but “80s and 90s films, Gaspar NoĆ© films, John Hughes films, Risky Business, License to Drive. Started thinking about my friends and ex-girlfriends. Started thinking about palms trees and the beach and shit. So yeah: music to cruise around to, hopefully at night.”

“Drive around. Make out. Get laid. Whatever you find works.”


Comments: 
This album was perfectly suited as I barreled up Route 64 going 90 miles per hour toward the Grand Canyon at 6am as the star-peppered sky was slowly bleached by the rising sun. It's an odd experience for me to wake up before dawn and this music complimented my dream-like state of mind. My mates slept and few cars were seen on the road giving me ample opportunity to do all of the above things Watson's described. Life. Physical Space. Girlfriends. And if you can't listen to this while driving at least listen to this late at night with the lights out!
