From Far Out Recordings’ in-house producer, Daniel Maunick’s debut solo album “Macumba Quebrada” conjures scenes of collective hedonism from start to finish.

Since the release of his last full-length Happysad in summer 2018, Kiefer released the mini-album Bridges, which Superbloom serves as the close-behind follow-up to.

But as streaming and other technological gifts have disrupted everything in our culture, the way we discover new music and artists has become easier.
