A digital doom metal project from the hills of the Ozarks and the byproduct of a music ravaged psyche.

Born from a long line of seamstresses and root workers, Funke takes the gifts of her ancestors, blending these talents into Audio Shamanism (DJing.) Funke is always in search of the right sonic elixir to send her audience on a journey into the soul. Being in touch with her extraterrestrial and terrestrial self, Funke brews potions that includes organic drums, deep space synths and indigenous chants, thus blurring the lines of earth and space. Taking on the role of more than just a DJ, Funke sees this talent as healing medicine that allow individuals to lose themselves within the spiritual sonic trek.

The Talking Liberties enjoyed a prolific and infamous live career spanning from 2011 to 2016. Their EPs "Don't Trust The Humans" garnered local acclaim reaching from Little Rock, Arkansas to Tennessee, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kentucky as well as gaining online listeners and fans worldwide. The group was featured on WEVL FM in Memphis, TN KABF FM in Little Rock, AR, Flux Festival, Downtown Music Fest, and The Arkansas Times Music Fest in Little Rock. The band wishes to thank you for all the good years and support.
