Ever feel like nothing changes? Sure, after stretches of sheer craziness, a certain stable life may have some appeal. But eventually we realize we want something more, something our staid Sudoku and ho-hum heroin cannot provide. Sooner or later, we become turned off to the creeping monotony and ritual in our everyday lives and need a real turn-on. Want some REAL thrills? Then you NEED the new Mako Sica and Hamid Drake collaboration album!
Enter Feeding Tube and Astral Spirits. The two titans are masters at awakening inner beasts with amazing records, so it will come as no surprise that they have joined powers to put out the forthcoming Mako Sica and Hamid Drake collaboration, Ronda, on August 10 on 2xLP and cassette/digital respectively.
Named after the town of Ronda in Spain (famous for its Puente Nuevo stone bridge), the album is the product of a friendly introduction and some live sparring last year between Chicago’s cutting-edge crew and one of the most imaginative percussionists on the planet.
Traverse boldly here to pre-order the limited-to-500-copies double vinyl and here for cassette and download. And, because the greatest gift is music, below is “The Greatest Gift” from Ronda. Change your day, change your life.
