Jonathan Moritz and Mike Pride have been playing together in a wide number of contexts since the early 2000s. This is their second duo release and the music on it is a truly unique amalgam of avant-garde jazz, lo-fi, sound collage, improv, field recording, with a touch of psychedelic production. The music is at once expansive, multifarious and deeply intimate.
