This release is paired with a tailor-made scented water mist, that Hydrofemme created according to traditional aromatherapy healing scales with organic herbs. The result is a blen…

This is not a 2020 record. This is a fo…

Components of rock and pop unite here in this lone 1977 effort and make way for elements of dark slow funk and soul that take you a couple of years back to the early seventies. The garment of swirling synthesizers keep it all together. The atmosphere can be soft and gentle like the touch of a lover’s hand but it can also become more and more mysterious and gloomy generating a feeling of paranoia as …
