(blouseusa) - Stimulus Overinclusion
OUT NOW

C-30 packed to the brim with whirlwinds of psychedelia, noise, and drone. sounds come down from the sky, up from the earth, mix in the middle and find a new place. grooves fall apart, tones build and decay, a color wheel spins backwards, cut up and collaged

Computer - Koy Pond
3/15/23

a sprawling tapestry of freaky jagged movement, harsh electronics, soft waves and descending spirals. warped & smothered remnants of guitar reflect off the surface and shimmer at the water's edge. recorded in one session, presented continuously
