The fifth Heavy Friends project is a BIG'N! So much so that I'm STILL making it last all year!
This is the second installment of the latest X&HF "album" - and hopefully the beginning of a continuous, year-long format in collaboration... with an all-new 30-min EP at the end of each quarter of 2020.
I <3 U TheSHIZZ!
[apologies for the temp art; watch this space for updated versions. By December 31st at the latest...]
