New myth explorations into the Spiral Joy multiverse featuring various combinations of the past-year-and-running lineup of Mikel, Mike, Amy and Nathan, along with (on two songs) guests John Fail and Nat Gaertner. Includes an extended suite from the band's favorite haunt, the XYZ Gallery in Blacksburg, Va., recorded in front of an audience this fall, as well as solo and duo home recordings and a rattling esraj/israj exchange from Lexington, Ky., all keyed to a Simurgh-is-my-copilot sensibility.
