Can't believe I'm submitting this. Long and fun drum circle that's notable because our Jer Bear whips out a steel pan and joins in.

all 80's candymen are dynamite. This one has a particularly funky undertone and adventurous comping. Thrilling peak at mr benson and the solo is immaculately poignant and weir keeps lacing it through and inspiring the others in his wake after.
