Steven Krakow's Spiral Galaxy releases limited-edition live album

Sara Gossett and Steven Krakow's Spiral Galaxy live album is now out on vinyl but there's only 100 copies so don't sleep.  


Here's the scoop...

Spiral Galaxy hails from Chicago, IL and includes the talents of flautist/ painter Sara Gossett and guitarist/ machines manipulator Steven Krakow (aka Plastic Crimewave). Together they have created devotional sonic voyages and droney soundscapes with the occasional rhythmic pulse to conjure the textural and kosmische vibe of 70s German seekers like Yatha Sidhra, Emtidi, Popul Vuh, Achim Reichel, Sand, and early Kraftwerk. 

The duo's early live performances quickly set the tone for their future, as they were well noted and received for their meditative drones, captivating mantras, and Eastern influenced experimentation. After producing a handful of cassette recordings of live sets, collaborations, and studio improvisation, Spiral Galaxy released their self titled debut in 2020 on Lion Productions/ Cardinal Fuzz. It was around this time that Sara and Steve visited Rec Room Recording Studios in Chicago to record a set of new compositions, a collection they decided to simply title Live. Initially released digitally by the band and on CDr by Cardinal Fuzz earlier in 2022, Live receives a vinyl release via Altered States.
