So Tough (30th Anniversary): Limited Edition Vinyl Boxset Toni Braxton Devendra Banhart and Noah Georgeson

Devendra Banhart and Noah Georgeson started to make a record that was like nothing they had made before — an ambient album that would be both a haven from a suddenly terrified world and a heartfelt musical dialogue between two artists who have been friends and collaborators for over two decades

It’s not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them

he also included subtle sonic elements in both Dangerous Curves & EleKtrik & these have also been incorporated into the stereo mix

Not so much to give a new twist to their music - which is still essentially rooted in a love of pop - but to invest their songs with a new electronic energy and vibe

but when we are asleep we are entirely vulnerable
