Jon Hassell | Live at Lausanne 2009

"If you're looking for interesting new music, I recommend all the works of Jon Hassell." PHILIP GLASS

"Ever listened to really early Pink Floyd? 'Interstellar Overdrive' era Floyd? Or King Crimson? There's something special about certain types of music. They reach in behind the ears...and pull out things that you could swear never belonged to you...Jon Hassell's Maarifa Street: Magical Realism II is an immersive experience... This is music that plays with the ephemeral curtain between the conscious and the unconscious. No...really."

The Shook Twins | Toll Free

The Shook twins are identical twin sisters originally from Sandpoint, Idaho. They play banjo and guitar with beatboxing, looping, whistles, wawa pedals, tambourines and djembes intertwined. Their identical, chilling vocal harmonies take the lead on most of their unique, quirky folk songs. “The sisters’ voices blend and braid with amazing clarity and depth, their guitars percolate brightly, and the intensity builds to incendiary proportions with layers of percussion gradually added to the mix.” -Spokesman Review (Spokane WA)
