about

We ask that our friends all over the world join us as we offer these newly released songs in support of the abolitionist work in our city. We stand with all of you who believe in transformative justice.

So for June's Bandcamp Day our collective will be donating 100% of the sales from this EP to Ohio Families Unite Against Police Brutality. OFUAPB was started by incredible Moms who have lost their children to police murder in the state of Ohio.

They have been on the frontlines of the police accountability work for years and need your support now to help put pressure on state officials and bring life-saving de-escalation mandates to Ohio.

In love and solidarity to this magical Earth.
M[A]B

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
