@Peace live at Montecristo Room
On @Peace and the Plutonian Noise Symphony, the debut LP from @Peace, the leftfield hip hop and future soul collective wrestle with heady subjects like time dilation, aliens, death, and determinism. The group chose Auckland’s Montecristo Room as the venue to premiere these songs in front of a hometown crowd, and Radio New Zealand engineer Andre Upston was there to capture their space-is-the-place set.
