Danilo Plessow aka Motor City Drum Ensemble has yet to make something that doesn’t sound like a train of endorphins mauling over you brain, drums jack-hammering through synths like pistons devouring steam.

Cheyenne Marie Mize and Bonnie “Prince” Billy are releasing Among the Gold, their rendition of a collection of 19th Century American parlor music handpicked by the duo, and it is available to enjoy for everyone for free (download the whole album below!).

New single “Home” is a brilliant introduction to that full-length.
