Experimental trio from Houston takes
your head to some new places. Excellent voice, only showcased on #1. Some anxious moments on other tracks. Psychedelia too.

**1) spacey drones & minimal ambience, singer
gets upset as cacaphony threatens, angels prevail! calm reigns
2) picked figure is overlaid with harmonics
3) dense cross rhythms, simple lyrics, wind down
*4) chimes, anxiety, shaman visits other world
(bardo?), battles evil ones
5) strumming, song w/ crescendo, muted guitar squals, gets loud with frippertronics
