Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded independently in Maryland, 'Manna / Mirage' functions as a remarkably authentic American continuation of the British Canterbury Scene sound. The complex, wind-driven compositions draw heavy inspiration from Soft Machine and Henry Cow, balancing dizzying technicality with an inherent sense of avant-garde playfulness.
