REVIEW: Listen to Family Reunion's New EP - "J"

I’ve been introduced to an EP that’s become integrated into my sacred, Virgo morning-routine playlist for the past few days. The tracks on “J” by Family Reunion, produced by the Milwaukee-based artist Tombo, are groovy, catchy, and dreamy.
The project is headed by 18-year-old Jackie Carlson, based out of Waukegan, Illinois. The EP opens with the song “OMG” that gives off a bummer-summer, surf-vibe, with its slinky guitar licks and catchy refrain that fades off into distortion. Each track has a little bit of a different feel – part soulful melodic, part surf synth-pop. I am particularly drawn to the track “Bitter” for graceful use of dissonance to bring the mood. This EP feels like looking in the mirror and getting lost in a daydream or driving around at sunset just for the sake of motion.
"J" TRACKLIST:
1. OMG
2. Heaven
3. Vacation
4. Bitter
5. Cavity (Feat. Tombo)
