Joe Harvey-Whyte & Geir Sundstøl: Langeleik
The world is a noisy, fucked place and I've got just the thing to take you mind off it. For thirty minutes or so. Because what's better than one ambient pedal steel, but two of em. Here the London and Oslo-based musicians go weightless Americana with some
soul-soothing steel, as well as some other guitars and percussion thrown in. It's the kind of peaceful that'll take the edge off. Grab the headphones and zone for a little, you deserve it. Enjoy!
