Defunct five piece from Portland featuring Eric Crespo on vocals and guitar, Jay Demko on oud, Courtney Modesitt on electric piano/organ, Brian Wright on drums, and Shaun Lyvers on bass. Ghost to Falco
amazing dark krauty album, heavy guitar here and there, a bit like the myrrors or algarnas tradgar... closing my eyes, it took me instantly to a magnificent view up in the mountains, valleys, little houses, cows grazing down below; in front of me, a vast gray sky, after an afternoon rain- everything bucolic yet so powerful and charged. exactly something i experienced twenty years ago after a great mushroom trip.. i had forgotten that moment, now it came back full force thru these songs. Fernando Benítez
