Haarvöl ~ Indite

Anthony Donovan & JOHN 3:16 ~ Of the Hex and Its Likenesses

Elian ~ Cutting Up the Sun
I first heard the music of Elian (Michael Duane Ferrell) in 2010 with the release of Whispers, Then Silence, an album that hid its appeal beneath folds of sonic cloth. He’s grown much more accessible since then, while sacrificing none of his experimental
