Silver Ripples are the echoes of a thousand lives reverberating across the canyon of time, often getting stuck around the mid-90's and arcing back to the present for a dark, ethereal, and rhythmic experience. B is the plaid princess, and Sasha & Josh cover loops, beats, and beards. Listen to them at music.silverripples.com
