Sam Tucker's folky, upbeat tunes nod to a long line of songwriters who have a love for pop melodies. His laidback vibe is heard in the easy strums of Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats' shuffling “Parlor”, and his knack for rhythm is in the sway of Kaleo's “Broken Bones”. Hozier's vocals on the gospel-tinged “Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene” have a kindred companion in Tucker's soulful voice.
