Thor & Friends - The Subversive Nature of Kindness (2017)

After collaborating with Aidan Baker and Lawrence English already in 2017, Thor Harris (Swans, The Angels of Light) meets Peggy Ghorbani and Sarah Gautier for a fluffy, polyrhythmic, minimalist distraction from the end times.
""You can make your life a whole lot simpler and less draining if you choose to be good to others. Kindness sets the tone for civil interaction when you lead by example. Kindness is your most efficient tool for changing the world."
