Spectral Forces:

Alex Smith is your guide enmeshed in the parallel universes of Philadelphia. In The Light of The Universe is in Who worlds are brought to life and death by the rhythm section of Julius Masri and Pete Dennis. Each song, a different aspect of reality, brought close to the ear. Histories- personal, aspirational, erotic, and revolutionary- are rotated for the enjoyment of its prismatic refractions.

Venue is wheelchair accessible, please contact us in advance for assistance.
