EXISTENTIAL PARANOIA

by Jan Rivera

supported by

archerliam This album is stellar. Great melodies, great dynamics, great production… don’t sleep on this one. Worth every penny Favorite track: Morse Code For Hope.

vrdavila12 This album is the one of the best guitar albums I've ever heard period. Every track gives an audio experience with all the right colors. Jan you and every other musical master in this album nailed it on every single track congrats.👏🏾🔥🇵🇷💪🏾 Favorite track: Homenaje.

chrisj64 Beautifully recorded record with some stellar musicians. Reminiscent of Allan Holdsworth, yet unique, with compositions that are complex rhythmically akin to some of Frank Zappa's music. Warm and musical, yet daring and modern.

Sometimes I'll be listening to music and a little disappointed. "Is this it? Is this all music can offer?" This really broke that for me, and reminded me of why I love music. Thark Type Beat
