ASH & HERB is a unit to challenge the very boundaries of duo exchanges within free dankazoid jam fiction. except this is fact, you can blast off. written by one of the medium's most innovative and prophetic voices (matt lajWAH from the mighty herbcraft), he is now found thrice as potent with astral goddess ASH "sister anubis" joining him in sonic rapture, tone and float perfectly realized on a joyous alternative earth. the dual vocal attack reminds me of a look i love & recognize, while the reality of time & death are totally displaced into some kinda homegrown dimension i haven't seen in what seems like an aeon but now is finally here.
and indeed it's all HERE, transportation, extrapolation, whack, zonk machine, action, art, plot, jam, focus…a truly superior work of free folk.
blast off this is C.O.M. 51!
