Jam band Eoto experiments with vocals

The jam band is a tricky, shifting beast. Eoto (that is Kyoto with a silent K) changes from airy galactic space-outs to pulsing danceables not only within the timespan of an hourlong set but also across distances, too.

Now Reading- “Abraham Lincoln – Vampire Hunter”
