invisible astro healing rhythm quartet: 2

The four members of The Invisible Astro Healing Rhythm Quartet formed in 2010 while studying music at Bakersfield College in sunny Bakersfield, California; a region known (musically) for the twangy, steel-guitar sound popularized by hometown heroes Buck Owens & Merle Haggard. IAHRQ take a decidedly different approach, reaching skyward toward the cosmos & the outer reaches of cosmic, spiritual jazz & Ethio-centric long-form jams. 2 is the aptly named second album from the quartet (the first was released in late 2013 on noted composer & trumpet player Kris Tiner's Epigraph Records) was recorded & produced by Chris Schlarb (Psychic Temple). 2 finds the ensemble digging deeper and reaching further out than before, honing their mixture of Ethiopian funk, spiritual jazz & cosmic psychedelia to a finer point. 2 was mastered by Matthew David McQueen (Leaving Records/Dublab), with psychedelic artwork by Bruno Borges. This is an LP -only release, pressed on black vinyl & includes a download code.
