"in 2024 myself, and a musician friend of mine from Geneva wanted to go make some new music, explode our heads and be new. we have a mutual friend from Switzerland who married a Senegales painter. his name is Mbaye Diop. He said he would go with us to Senegal and introduce us to Senegalese musicians. so, we got a little grant from the Swiss government to help with most of the expenses and we began organziing .

We flew to Dakar after a tour I had in Spain, and took a five hour taxi to San Louis in the north and we met a Studio owner by the name of Boubacar Tall. And he introduced us to musicians in San Louis. and it didn’t take long, we began making music the first day.

They spoke Wolof and a Senegalese version of French, I spoke English, my friend spoke a Swiss French. There is some singing by myself, and some words by Mbaye Diop in Wolof. meanwhile I met a singer by the name of Theresa N’gambi from Zambia, when I was touring with WITCH, the zamrock band. and so she sang alot of b/ups and often in Nyanga, her language. I blended her with my favorite American singer Kelly McFarling and it’s really kind of rich. sometimes it sounds a little like 90’s R & B and sometimes it sounds like some thing very new and not common."—Sonny

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
