It's generous music, exuding profound vulnerability-grappling with the loss of one his mothers, Lisa-all the while brimming with electric wide-eyed wonder.Almost every one of the nine pieces seems to carry some semblance of a groove, while remaining completely untethered from pulse. At points, there's a timelessness that's conveyed through the music's processional, ritualistic tenor, and yet there's an endless amount of wild, futuristic detail waiting to unspool at any given moment.HumilityRa Comm 43Surfacing9-5 SilverRa Comm 8Earth IIIRa Comm 10Water \u0026amp; ToolsDr. Teddy's Hi Test\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jairus Sharif","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39790876196935,"sku":"42981893","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4132710-2902474.jpg?v=1711776224","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/jairus-sharif-water-tools","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
