topology

The release of Topology, the long-awaited first album from node to node. Bearing a title that signifies "an awareness of connections and the acceptance of change," this record serves as the band's calling card, fully encapsulating the current essence of node to node.
The album opens with "discDISCO," an up-tempo disco tune that instinctively gets your body moving, flowing smoothly into "ocean," a sweeping ballad evoking the vast open sea, before making a pleasant transition into the lead track, "wavey." "wavey" is a standout track that shines with its impressively catchy guitar riffs and a beat packed to the brim with R&B grooves.
The mid-section features three tracks: the fan-favorite, previously released mid-tempo dance tune "dance in my room"; the spatially expansive "made me good"; and "telephone," a slow R&B piece expressing tender feelings for a loved one over a piano melody. Closing out the album is "safety," an R&B number infused with a warm, reassuring message: "feel safe and stay by my side."
A pleasant, unifying beat seamlessly threads through the entire album, even as it effortlessly crosses multiple genres. Created with the band's heartfelt wish that it "can become a small part of your everyday life," this is a record that gently accompanies the listener through various scenes of life, tenderly connecting our ever-changing days.
