Their style is referred to as ‘mirage rock’ or ‘cactus bop’ as they blend environmental textures to form a hazey musical abyss for lizards, crows, and any other members of the animal kingdom not invited onto the arc. ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀ Concrete Desire is the new recording project from longtime Ottawa (via Sault Ste. Marie) recording and touring musician Rory Lewis. “Not Great” available now!
