Han Pedunkten
The breadth and scope of the sound is wide as this beautiful blue dot planet. The wonderful meeting of cultural discourse and marvelous air wobbles is the exact kind of diplomacy and across the world jams we need more of!
Favorite track: Kyrgyz Jeri.

Aberdeen is a large indie rock brass band based out of NY featuring Brian Plautz, Adam Neely, Jared Yee and Shubh Saran.
They create a wall of sound with soaring, horn-driven melodies, supported by a bed of distorted guitars and raucous drums. The band, featuring two saxophones, trombone, trumpet, two guitars, bass and drums never ceases to fill a room with energy....more
Adam Neely and Shawn Crowder reignited my love of jazz as an innovative exploration of music and rhythm.
Because of Sungazer I'm saving up to buy a bass and start playing again. Andrew Morris
