Call Me Old Fashioned unearths a long-lost trove of post-war pop treasures, blending jazz pop, Latin flair, and big band verve into a lush, 40-minute soundtrack that transports listeners to an era of smoky lounges and highball glasses. After languishing for 63 years in the Lou-Mood Pictures vault, this previously unreleased collection finally sees the light. With its mix of zoo be zoo be zoo zest, sugar-sweet divas, and barrel-aged brass, Call Me Old Fashioned is a stereo-sonic adventure perfect for fans of spy-fi soundscapes and vintage lounge vibes. – Flying Out
