Vangel: Biblio EP Reviews

EXCLAIM! MAGAZINE ->
(frequencies - electronic) (By Ashley Hampson)

(Reviews) (by Leanda Quinquet)
"The disc features five beautiful tracks that you need for this spring....it's light and trippy with a depth that is seriously lacking in a lot of music. Think organic sounds of woodwind instruments, brushed up against acoustic guitar and seriously relaxed beats, Jazz infected, Classic." ....FULL STORY
