the evangelista albums:
Hey! Recorded with chums from Godspeed! You Black Emperor, A Silver Mount Zion, Black Ox Orkestar, Gowns, Mae-Shi, The Night Porter and Secret Chiefs 3.
Evangelista is a sound that you can open your chest with, pull out whats inside and make it change shapes, make it open more times and, even more til the sound inside has finally sealed the hole where your vile/beautiful heart belongs Even if you believe in nothing, good or bad, I must report: theres really no such thing as empty space. Even inside this void there is sound. You will hear it. You will see. You will be cradled and near deafened by love and mercy sounds and the sound of your own blood pulsing with fire and mercy. or you can just plug your ears, curl up like a tabby and take a snooze.
