Both are unusual LPs … Continue reading
It makes sense that this dark, dirge-like track is the finale of PC Muñoz’s recent record, Physical Science. It feels like two songs recorded at once, with one low voice in mourning and crashes of production hovering around it. Buy the LP on Bandcamp. Source: Bandcamp Continue reading
