Angel Bat Dawid
Multi-Instrumentalist Xristian Espinoza and Sound Artists Norman Long have teamed up to bring us an incredible sonic journey. I call these Brothers "Sacred Soundologists". They know how to tingle things in your ear-hole that you didn't even know needed to be tingled! This is a seriously deep ass album full of magical sounds timbres and ancient to the future spiritual vibezz.
Favorite track: January 15, 2020 Part 2.
Espinoza/Long Duo, explore the sonic depths of terrestrial soundscapes into the unknown reaches of the cosmos.
