adam @ Not just my favorite album of the year (in a year full of great music), but maybe my favorite thing SIF has ever done.

Music purely from the heart. Favorite track: Dark Sun.

about

Loops of African Juju Witchcraft Dance, Chants from India, and percussive record grooves swirl together once again on a SP202 to form the new album Ancestral Motion.

Where Bufo Alvarius was an esoteric diary of one man’s adventure through uncharted territory, Ancestral Motion metamorphoses further into a mystical conflict of light and dark. With a new group of travelers, polyrhythmia and lo-fi tropical magic guide the listener from warm sanctuaries of illumination to the adversarial pitch-darkness.

With contributions from Yea Big, Ian Sheridan, and Ohtis’s Adam Pressley & Nate Hahn, Ancestral Motion gives life to a rare fusion of tropical world music and improv jazz.
