Many thanks to whoever first flagged this one up, I got the CD the other day and have been thoroughly enjoying it, perhaps surprisingly they combine so very well together. Good stuff.

Self titled third full album from this wonderful combo from Seattle, released in late 2020. Melodic power pop, great singing & harmonies. Previous two albums are excellent as well.
As they are from Seattle, I wonder if @seakayaker has heard of them over there?

Me too - a classic in their catalogue.
