Local greats Mounds return to LangLab along with the Colin-L

Mounds

Mounds is a duo helmed by Tom Hohmann (USAISAMONSTER, Black Elf Speaks, (from)The Sky, etc). Tom plays drums, sings, and plays a floor synth with his left foot. DJ plays synth. Awesome angular rock that walks some hypnotic line between prog, The Doors, Native American history, The Incredible String Band, and Terry Riley.
