Invisible Familiars - Disturbing Familiars (2015) Losslerss

I was riding the Manhattan bound J-Train to the Engine Room one day, late in 2013, when I was approached by Jared Samuel (Invisible Familiars) who inquired about my “Dan Millice Mastering” tee shirt. It was some sort of divine-musical-magic that we crossed paths that day on the J-Train. Months later, I got a call from Jared, who had been busy working on Invisible Familiars’ debut full-length album.

As story has it, Jared Samuel went to Jamaica Bay to live secluded on a house boat and write this album. He came back and produced the album with his good friend, Michael Leonhart (Steely Dan/Yoko Ono), along with a long list of amazing musicians and friends, including Robbie Mangano, Tim Kuhl, Jolie Holland, Yuka Honda & Miho Hatori (Cibo Matto), Nels Cline (Wilco, The Nels Cline Singers), Ryan Sawyer, Stuart Bogie (Antibalas), and more.
