Reviews

  • ongakuatama's avatar
    ongakuatama
    A discordant symphony of kaleidoscopic beat laden fruit. All jungles represented here: the inner, the inner city, the lush. When you are ready this will find itself into you. A mesmerising bash up of broken, funk, dream and landscape. Once your brain and ass have danced through the colour you will be asking why it's taken so long for this to find us. Also includes Some Yoga Teacher on banjo. And that's only Side 1. Eat.
