RM "Indigo" (2022)
While editing this I realized that I jinked myself tremendously. If you can stick it out to hear the full review, then you'll hear how I doomed myself to not upload this when it dropped, too.
That realization aside, I'm still listening to the album and enjoying its facets. It's a unique piece. I apologize for the way this episode drags on... it's a reflection of early morning recording, for real.
