No Country (Explicit) - Official Lyric Video Magic Spiral 2022-07-17 | Purchase the single here:landonbalk.bandcamp.com/track/no-countryNo Country began life as a mouth harp sample created with the S5000. The inspired sequence was captured using a Tascam 238. A stereo mix of all the tracks from the 238 were bounced to the Fostex M80 in an attempt to sync the audio from both machines using computer software. It was a failed experiment that turned into No Country. This song appears on the album Anomaly Me in two parts. The single version is the extended version.Executive Produced by Tanya RuysPurchase the album here:landonbalk.bandcamp.com/album/anomaly-me
