Seattle's The Dip have spent a decade perfecting vintage-minded soul with a modern wink, and Love Direction, released in 2024, is their warmest and most assured album yet.
Formed in 2013 by music students at the University of Washington, the group pair a classic rhythm section with a three-piece horn line of trumpet, tenor and baritone saxophone. Love Direction arrived on Dualtone as their fourth full-length, following Sticking With It, and finds singer Tom Eddy leaning into grown-up songs about devotion, patience and keeping things steady when life gets messy.
Bougainvillea Blues opens the album with a lazy, sun-warmed sway, setting an easygoing tone. The title track glides along on a smooth, mid-tempo groove, the horns punctuating Eddy's lines with a knowing smile. Fill My Cup leans into soulful warmth, and Easy Love shows off the band's knack for unhurried, feel-good hooks that settle in and stay.
The arrangements never overcrowd the songs, leaving space for every instrument to breathe, and Eddy's relaxed, honeyed delivery ties it all together. It is the kind of record that sounds equally right at a dinner party or on a slow drive home.
For fans of modern retro-soul and classic horn-driven R&B, this is a generous, feel-good record that rewards repeat plays, ideally on a lazy Sunday morning.
