just jane having fun, experimenting with their sound and delivering some of the most raw thoughts of their current state that we've seen so far. theres a reason this was only up for an hour, but props to her for putting a little something extra out there for the die hards to enjoy.
Parannoul's Magnum Opus.

Best Tracks: Eko, Dudu, Evangelic Girl is a Gun

I used to hate going out on nature walks. "Ohhh cool a bunch of trees... and dirt... and rocks.... yayyy... totally haven't seen those before.... this is sooooo fun....." BUT NOW??? OH MY GOD EVERYTHING ... read more
