Transmigration Blues

A sprawling, wind-worn collection of desert folk. Hypnotic rhythms and dusty harmonica create a sense of constant, restless movement across the American West.

It sounds like driving through the desert at dusk with the windows down and nowhere to be.

A restless but peaceful meditation on movement and the passage of time.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The hypnotic, seven-minute sprawl of Déjà Vu where the rhythm section locks into a trance-like state.
The way the harmonica on the title track functions more like a synthesizer pad than a traditional lead instrument.
The sudden, intimate shift in texture during the transition from the Intro into the main body of the record.
