Once, after finishing a show, the head of the security team at the venue told me that one of his guards confessed that during our set he actually prayed that we would stop playing. Sign of the cross and everything. Cool guy, said the music reminded him of Rhys Chatham. Respect!

So the new @SprainBand album makes me feel like I’m in my early 20s discovering an album/s that I just know is going to stick with me forever. It’s one of the greatest feelings of being a human.

Los Angeles’s Sprain have unveiled the second single off of their debut LP. Titled “Constant Hum,” the 10-minute-long track traverses a soundscape from subdued to expansive, tense to tranquil, while remaining completely cathartic. @SprainBand

The gentleman you see second from the right is Ulrich Krieger. He’s amazing. He laid down the saxophone part for “Worship House” at @CaveStudioLA . Ulrich has collaborated with legends like Lee Ranaldo and Lou Reed. He’s worth a google search.
