Joel Sarakula’s "Companionship" is an easy mood and deep groove. Sarakula develops a deeper, more introspective lyrical style from his previous works as he celebrates friendships, love, and loneliness across the ten-song LP. In an array of musical stylings–Californian sun-kissed guitars on a driving soft-rock fantasy, confessional down-tempo funk, mid-1970s swimming pool jazz fusion, introspective self-parody pop, standout up-tempo melodies, and other vintage synthesizer musings–the prolific writer, producer, performer, and multi-instrumentalist finally unleashes his chill-out pretensions. Companionship is a cool and collected album of the highest order.
