One Eleven Heavy has two studio albums: "Everything's Better" from 2018 (available here), and 2019's "Desire Path" (available here). Their latest release, "Live At Jam Castle" is due out on May 1 and you can grab it from wasistdas.bandcamp.com. The playing is a looser and the jams a bit longer and you can hear the good times being had.
