✨We’re stoked to announce our pre-sale vinyl release, available now on Bandcamp here: . /album/standing-circle ! Full record drops on 18th September ! ⚠️Please note: this is a mock-up of the record artwork and the final version may vary slightly. Our new single “Chant For Now” is also out now!✨ ABOUT THE TUNE 🪶 This piece features: Sello Molefi , Jag Yien Thiang and Corry Harper on vocals Chant For Now is a song devoted to the present moment a present gifted from the past, carried forward into the future as an echo of a deeper source. It reflects the idea that what we experience now holds both memory and possibility, just as the language of music connects us through time, inviting us to understand, accept, and feel each other. Composed as a kind of hymn, Chant For Now honors the universal language we call music. It is meant as a message of hope, especially in times when people seem unable to understand one another, reminding us that connection is still possible through sound, through presence, and through shared humanity. And perhaps it is easier than we think less complicated than people often say. Artwork 🖼️ by local legend @kitt_bennett Photos 📸 @w_i_l_k and Larry Crestani Check it out!!
