The members of Chandra, namely Chandra Naiir, Chris Wing, Keith Jones, and Rock Cheung, have brought their unique talents together to produce this impressive compilation. Mastered by Stephen Kerrison at Weird Jungle, the EP’s sound quality is top-notch, ensuring that listeners get a truly immersive experience.

They convey a genuine sense of authenticity that’s rarely found in today’s heavily commercialized music landscape.
