One year to the day since the release of First Tone’s archival “1” album, we have “2” - two long-form pieces taking the musical partnership of Duane Pitre and Turk Dietrich further into the expansive space where their “Reactions” LP for Spectrum Spools was forged.
As with “1” we’ve put the work to tape, featuring cyanotype artwork by Manon Bellet on risograph inserts produced by Constance. We’ve also done up a second run of “1” cassettes in case you missed them last time. Find them both on Bandcamp now and on Boomkat soon. Stay tuned for more. Thanks for listening.
