Ruth Mascelli & Mary Hanson Scott weave breath into voice, woodwind, and ambient sighs that settle around you like a strange blanket, uncanny in its familiarity, captivating in that it’s already got you. Their recent album, Esoteric Lounge Music, is a powerful essay on music that moves on its own. Spaced-out territories painted with the soaking wet FX of a haunted saxophone shift register into power ballad without blinking. The album’s commitment to a narrative journey paired with its immersive hypnotic techniques brings listeners to the Lounge, a truly weird place that no one wants to leave.

Language Models warms up the speakers with peculiar textures and the whimsy of rhythm. Expect a transformation of the venue and some extra bass to soothe your working heart on this sacred day of solidarity.
