Tobacco returns to Ghostly International with 'Hot Wet & Sassy', a full-length album oozing with his most playful and approachable songs to date, which, conversely, express notions of antilove, self-hate, and disappointment in others. With his sound of blown-out bass, analog synths and drum machines, Tobacco has not been reinvented, but has been refined and distilled. Brighter, sharper, and the pop-forward structures exert their undeniable hooks with baneful precision, pulling listeners into their clutches.
