those "Breakout" horns are the equivalents of bumps in the morning

I love "It's Better to Travel" so much. Been looking for more albums that hit that sound (which it seems the band departed from immediately and permanently). So far the closest I've found is "En Cavale" by Isabelle Antena, which hits on a similar glossy, jazzy Sophisti-pop type sound. Any other tips?

Though I am listening to their "Live at the Jazz Cafe" record for the first time right now and... dang! This is really good, and really not what I expected!

Dip In The Pool's 'Retinae' definitely has its moments!

Oh yeah, that's a good pull! I like that album a lot too. Kind of a quieter energy to it than Swing Out Sister but it does hold a very similar appeal. Great clarinet on there too!

yeah its definitely more 'Twilight World' than 'Breakout'

Ended up checking out Shapes and Patterns because it was their highest-rated album on rym. pretty straightforward and pleasant Burt Bacharach-style music but certainly not as fun or compelling as "Breakout". But interesting to learn about their second life in Japan - "Now You're Not Here" from Shapes and Patterns was a huge hit and they're pretty well-known there
