It’s been a long journey for Northern-Spy artist Colin Langenus and
 Tom Hohmann, like floating stoned on the back of the turtle that 
carries the world.  Or primal scream therapy.  That trip culminates with
 R.I.P., the group’s final release, and the first of Brooklyn’s newest

with ease through psychedelia, stoner rock, prog, Native American 
mythos, and even political disintegration.  R.I.P. was mixed by

quality vinyl and CD digipack, it will be a small treasure to carry 
forward for both the band’s fans and those just discovering this 
fascinating group as they embark on their next journeys.
