## Notes

These guys know how to blaze! Most of the time the music is pretty quiet and introspective, but every now and then they build things up to truly ecstatic heights. Given that the band is a fellowship, I think that what they're up to could be properly described as _testifyin'_! I dig it! Don't miss 'em!
