If GOING doesn’t sound like anything else, that’s because of how it was created-entirely over email, amid the loopiness of quarantine, with no rush from a label and no one to impress but each other.
GOING is an exuberant, open-hearted suite of instrumentals that blur the barriers between live performance and electronic production, evoking something like a flash photograph of a backyard at night.
