In early 2016, Microwave recorded their sophomore album, Much Love, at The Looking Glass with producer and engineer, Travis Hill. Microwave was fresh off of the success of their self-released debut album, Stovall, and dead set on making the best album possible. Much Love was the epitome of a passion project and went on to be celebrated by both fans and critics alike.
