Vale has quietly become the most reliable closing set in the Midwest — patient, unhurried, and then suddenly enormous.

The live band changes everything. A saxophone over a 126 BPM kick should not work. It brought the room down.

'Brighter Days' is five minutes of restraint and one minute of payoff. Worth the wait.
