Saw a bunch of people go wild for this on RateYourMusic earlier this year and figured it was some hipster hype, especially considering their New Zealand roots. But this is a pretty pure realization of the promise of Kendrick's "For Free?" most specifically but a whole lot of stuff that's been bubbling under the surface from Los Angeles to Houston to Minneapolis to New York since the early 2000s. True straight up modal jazz married to a white dude doing a Kendrick impression and being all confessional.

Kinda neat.
