This 11-track expedition, just released on all streaming platforms on November 24th, is an indie pop, rock, and blues amalgamation that delves into the profound themes of family, love, and memory. It is, without a doubt, Taro's most personal and resonant work to date.

From the opening notes, "This Is Not The End" beckons listeners into Taro's sonic universe, adorned with the rich tapestry of acoustic guitars that dance through the album. The acoustic elements add a touch of warmth to the tracks, creating an intimate space where Taro's storytelling takes center stage. However, let’s not forget some of the screaming slide guitars that add so much depth too.

The transitions between indie pop, rock, and blues elements are executed with finesse, adding layers of complexity to the record.

One of the standout features of the album is its incorporation of fun instrumental moments. Whether it's a playful guitar riff, a dynamic drum fill, or a bluesy harmonica, each instrument contributes to the album's vibrant and dynamic sound. These instrumental flourishes not only showcase Taro's musical versatility but also add an element of unpredictability, keeping the listening experience engaging and enjoyable.

As "This Is Not The End" unfolds, Taro's ability to balance heartfelt lyricism with catchy melodies becomes increasingly apparent.
