Morning Music Notes – Here’s a Few Tracks to Tide You Over

Cold Specks has a brand, spanking new song from a brand, spanking new album. The album will be called Neuroplasticity and is out August 25/26, depending where on this green Earth you live.

Our first listen is Absisto, with the soulful vocals of Al Spx complimenting the drones and interesting sounds fighting their way to get into the song. Take a listen below.

Do you like the TV show 24? Although cheesy at times, I love all things British (hi Mom and Dad!), and since the new season takes place in London, I love it even more (and miss London even more).
