A heavy duty split that goes down smooth, Landstra and Fish are two sides of the same psychedelic coin.
Kyle Landstra brings the mellow moods with a touch of sparkle. "Holding Steadfast in the River of Peace" is the latest transmission in his white hot streak of recent work, which includes releases for Sacred Phrases, Lillerne Tapes, Twin Springs Tapes and Moog Music's "Music for Intention and Growth" series.
Møffenzeef Mødular proprietor Ross Fish follows up 2015's "The Pelican Curse" on Bridgetown with style and 'tude. He shifts gears seamlessly between ambient drifts and tight syncopation with a mischievous sense of experimentation.
Oxtail Recordings is straight up thrilled to present this continent-spanning piece of synth mastery: from Portland to Chicago to NYC to you.
