Sarah Bernstein Announces New Album CRAZY LIGHTS SHINING Out 5/25

The highly anticipated second album of Sarah Bernstein Unearthish features the acclaimed New York violinist/vocalist/composer with master percussionist Satoshi Takeishi.

The nine pieces, ranging from minimalist pop to free jazz poetry to complex ballads, are united by the performance of the text and the duo's deep musical interplay.

The pre-order for Crazy Lights Shining is on Bandcamp.
