about

“Now, with Westberg, Mark C. (pre-Live Skull, Ivan’s bandmate in Crop), Cucumbers’ Jon Fried, brother Andrew, etc. guesting, Nahem uses his experience as a new age yoga instructor for an instrumental soundtrack to perk up classes. This is not Krishna Das singing “ooooom” at an ashram; on “The Sea, The Beach, The Jungle” it’s Middle Eastern/carnival-darker, but otherwise it’s spiritual soundings for the sensual. It’s hushed, tranquil but lush, with elongated tones, quiet note chiming, whistling, light keyboards, brushed guitars, etc. Like Mayazaki music, it’s a rainforest beneath a storm.” Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover
