Sierra (from Part B: Adored)

Rescued from a DAT tape and recorded a million years ago (March 1999)live at a party in a Manhattan showcase studio. I present Nick Terzi's beloved ode to mass transit "Bus Driver". I don't recall if Nick played this party (I suspect we hired the incredible Bruce MacLaughlin as a sub) but if Cosma Suma hadn't disbanded soon after I'm sure we would've recorded this gem and given it a proper production.

Bus Driver

The new single from the BIGINASTORIA EP.

"Hooks reign supreme for the song is an absolute earworm, with a melody that lingers in the memory long after it is over."

"Truly cyclical, the hypnotic looping of Giftshop’s “We Want You” puts the listener into a delirious trance."
