Mar 11, 2015Thanks to its pared-down gear list and capricious flow, Levon Vincent feels like the work of someone left alone in the studio, sketching in real time with what's at hand and moving on. And that spontaneity gives it an even greater sense of intimacy.

Mar 11, 2015You’ll never hear the same thing twice in listening to Levon Vincent.
