LABOUR w/ Lemzo Diamono

Closing this show is the latest from Ndakhté Lo: Malaise.

Pop Ambient Classical

Shades of joy from quiet to exuberant to silly, and back again. Mostly instrumental songs, I was thinking about coming alive when warm air brushes over your skin like silk.

When I was in piano lessons as a little kid, if I did well my teacher would put her copy of “Baby Elephant Walk” loud on the stereo at the end.

The sprouts are coming up!
