Few artists are as openly honest and introspective as Sir Sly: The Los Angeles trio of Landon Jacobs, Hayden Coplen, and Jason Suwito care deeply about the meaning and authenticity of their work, as well they should: Their breathtaking debut album You Haunt Me (September 2014 via Interscope Records) set the bar higher than most.
