Spinning my Dharma from forplay on 8tracks.
It’s easy to come across a lot of injustice in New York City. 14th street during the day, and the L train on a weekend. Homeless dog owners, and the stench of 29th street on saturday morning.

Preview: Portico Quartet's new album →
Gathering what one may from 30-60 seconds of previews:
1. Window Seat - seems like it might do what any intro would
2. Ruins - we all love that already
3. Spinner - sounds like it might heal the soul one day
4. Rubidium - Much like the namesake element’s application in thermoelectric generators - sounds like it might generate an electric current.
