The Talon (Double LP)
With his album The Talon, intrepid musical traveler Santiparro ventures deep into areas uncharted by his prior catalog, and the results are a surprising, thrilling about-face. The lilting, gentle melodies are still there, as is the psychedelic shimmer which sparkled through his last album True Prayer, but with the help of Kansas City-based producer J. Ashley Miller (Jametatone, Thiefist, Ssion), Santiparro has dropped those key features into wholly new sonic worlds.
