The Emperors of Gnouv

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD/STREAM FROM BANDCAMP!!
This album came from three recorded jams from March. This music is entirely improvised! Nothing was planned out ahead of time - we simply plugged in, and played. I feel like on all three sessions, our band was totally on. While small groups of us had been playing together in different parts of California and in different bands, we hadn't played all together as a unit in three months or so, and when we all got together, the music exploded! Enjoy this recording, and look for future albums and shows from the Emperors of Gnouv!!
