Sat down (stood up?) with Emily Lee from Shearwater to talk her 3 shopping picks. Don’t think we’ve ever seen someone compare Black Sabbath and Alice Coltrane like that before but absolutely loved it.

Black Sabbath - “Volume 4”, 1972
Alice Coltrane - “A Monastic Trio”, 1968
Stravinsky & Bartok - “Concerto For Piano and Wind Orchestra”, 1967
