Opening with the question, 'Can you say it like you mar the words in light,' this fragility yields to a strength with 'You will know when I get a taste too passionate.' Vibe is dubby, melancholy. CP70 piano and cello alongside deep moog bass. Enjoy the ride. Streaming everywhere March 26. Thank you for listening. more
