Niño Silvestre – Songs to see in the dark*
Canciones para ver en la oscuridad. by Niño Silvestre Nice psychedelic Chilean grooves from Niño Silvestre’s ‘Canciones para ver en la oscuridad’ in the vein to my mind of Os Mutantes or a psychedelic Nouvelle Vague, produced, mixed and recorded by our very own Jimmi Jammes. He’s done a brilliant job – and being able…
