This ebb and flow between disorder and tranquility, loud and soft, and the contrasts between inner and outer worlds define the essence of Internal Drone Infinity.
Home to the band’s vocalist and bassist, Sam Sarty, the living room doubles as Living Hour’s jam space, where the magic of their music comes to life.
