En ~ City of Brides
En‘s City of Brides travels a long way before it ends. While incorporating elements of ambient, drone, and electronic music, it’s a sonic mélange that works. The third album from Maxwell August Croy and James Devane, it exudes some of that hazy

Lisa Busby ~ Fingers in the Gloss
