Good morning! Feels like a less packed week than the last few but thatâs a relief to be honest, and some really interesting records out:
ĂFĂ - 0000+0000
âSecond album from ĂFĂ (pronounced Eeeh-FAY), a companion piece to 2017 debut album IIII+IIII; the numbers and symbols of the albumâs title form a prophetic sign from the IfĂĄ religious practice heralding the birth of night and a fearless embrace of death.â
