We're happy to team up with experimental artist Emily Rach Beisel to premiere her new video "We Who Behold The Bright Surface!
The track is part of her album "Sumptuous Branching", which was released on April 10 via Amalgam.
"Beisel’s latest album, Sumptuous Branching, is an experimental voyage through drones, textures, and subtly emergent melodies, and her latest video and single for “We Who Behold The Bright Surface” examines the space and time occupied by our consciousness and their music."
