On 2016’s The End Of Comedy and its 2019 follow up Raw Honey, it was clear that Drugdealer, the LA-based musical project led by Michael Collins had one foot firmly planted in the era of AM smooth-rock glory. On Hiding In Plain Sight, Collins and his semi-rotating cast of co-conspirators fully embrace that aesthetic and in doing so not only accept their destiny as the inheritors of Steely Dan’s legacy but deliver one of the most forward thinking yet familiar sounding records of the year.

PLUS! Some “weird” but great nü-folk from Richard Dawson, mind-expanding jazz from Charles Lloyd and his friends Bill Frisell and Thomas Morgan from Lloyd’s Trios project, and more!
