Angela Munoz - Descanso - VINYL LP

Adrian Younge presents Angela Muñoz is the debut album of an 18-year-old Angela Muñoz highlighting the Los Angeles native's timeless vocals with innocence and vulnerability. Backed by the soulful production of Adrian Younge, Muñoz's captivating voice reveals the old soul of a legend in the making. Recorded and mixed by Adrian Younge at Linear Labs, the preeminent analog studio of Los Angeles, CA.

John Ringhofer, the man behind Half-Handed Cloud, is as joyful and frugal as his music. An economical thinker, Ringhofer prefers the subway over a taxicab, is a recycler of plastic, a compulsive note-taker, and a habitual optimist. Half-Handed Cloud started as a home-recording project in Chattanooga, TN in 1999. Ringhofer was later based in the California Bay area for over a decade (where he worked as a part-time custodian) before moving with his young family to Helsinki, Finland in 2015 for his wife's linguistics research. Half-Handed Cloud is able to ensconce complicated theological concepts into catchy and sublime playground songs that refuse to condescend to it's subject or it's listener.
