We've been on the road quite a bit over the last few weeks, so consider this is our public "THANK YOU" to Nashville's own Los Colognes for releasing the best driving music of the year.

The guys' sophomore full-length release, fittingly named Dos, is a heartfelt fusion of classic influences like Dylan and The Grateful Dead and strong personal style, carried out with precision and ease. And, it's damn good.

The guys have already garnered stellar reviews from Consequence of Sound, Stereogum and other folks who know a thing or two about good music, but trust us, you're going to want to review this album for yourself. -Caroline Bowman
