Pick Three – Ekumen
Carrying on from yesterday’s Le Guin theme, the first in a series of posts where I pick my top three tracks from a random record, in this case the self-titled debut album from New Orleans hardcore band Ekumen. Every track on Ekumen is great, most of them are extremely short, and the band makes a
