Conspiracy of Equals release new CD on Leo Records

Live, free and completely visceral!
Four massive mountain men of music meet on a full moon and pour their hearts out in spontaneous soundscapes of fierce emotion. They groove harder than a very hard thing but free music also speaks freely here, and the mountain men are never afraid to speak of the strange properties of love.

Recorded live direct to 2-Track DAT, it careers wildly between the funky, bluesy, and downright groovy to the madly swinging and chilled out mountain top vibe.
