Description
Tough On Fridays' sophomore album takes you back to the days where you sat around and listened to the entire album and shared the liner notes. Other than a few overdubs the band recorded the entire album over 2 days at Studios at Fischer, Canyon Lake, TX.
"This album keeps on giving, feeling both intimate and explosively vast throughout. There’s darkness and warmth intertwined, and the subject matter repeatedly reaches out for the soul and those difficult memories and feelings that swamp much of modern life.
Just eight tracks in total but an immense collection nonetheless, The Encore You Didn’t Ask For highlights the most comfortably genuine version of Tough On Fridays we’ve perhaps ever seen." Stereo Stickman
