"I saw your shadow on the moon last night"

Prince Rama of Ayodhya Golden Glow {320kbps mp3, 16.3MB, 07:07}, from 'Zetalnd' (Cosmos Recordings, 2009)



So infectious. I'm excited that they have an LP due out later this year on Paw Tracks. Their live set on Brian Turner's WFMU show was my intro to them and really blew me away. I am averse to the Hare Krishna religion, but can groove on this band's out-there 'om mane padme hum's, and I really like their aesthetic.
