The record runs like a compilation of their best musical instincts compressed, refined and fine-tuned to a punchy summer frequency. Lucas Creighton In July of 2014, the marketing student and would-be rapper Aminé sent out a wishful Twitter DM attempting to get his fledgling music career off the ground.
