There are seven tracks, each featuring &#8220;<em>To<\/em>&#8221; as the first word in the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The album&#8217;s sound is fast, urgent and natural, steering away from any kind of overproduction so as to keep the whole record as authentic and as close to the live experience as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"415\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The songs are intended to capture feelings and sentiments, as evidenced by their titles, eg <em>To Realize<\/em>, <em>To Live<\/em>. <em>To Be Short<\/em>, clocking in at just 30 seconds, certainly lives up to its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>To Cover<\/em> sees the trio tackling <em>Grau Grau Gra<\/em>u, the theme song from 1979 Italian adventure-comedy film <em>I&#8217;m for the Hippopotamus<\/em> (bizarrely starring ex-boxer Joe Bugner!), and originally sung by its stars Terence Hill and Bud Spencer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standout song on the album is <em>To Forget<\/em>, where they celebrate the joys of drinking a few beers with friends and waking up with your face in the cat&#8217;s litter tray! <strong>7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can stream the Stanis album <em>Living Has Consequences<\/em> <strong><a
