How do people both inside and outside of prison work together to dismantle the criminal justice system and build a society based on collective care?
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
A sung-through Nubian musical ballet. A darkly humorous take on sexual trauma and what magical and ancestral tools might heal it.
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
An contradictory guitarist, he’s equally at home in slow, halting acoustic improvisation or piercing minimal examinations of electric guitar.
