Taiga - Stone Goddess

Taigá is the psychedelic / prog rock project of musician and songwriter Jonathan Spruance of Seattle, WA. Drawing on influences ranging from 60s Swedish psychedelia and classical sitar music to early 90s alternative / indie rock with subtle jazz undertones, the music embodies a rich tonal tapestry that bubbles, flows, melts, and congeals into one cohesive whole. The second album, Stone Goddess, was recorded over a period of 3 years in various Seattle-area studios as well as in a log cabin in the Cascade Mountains and on a 116-year-old farm in the Skagit Valley. Stone Goddess was mixed by Mitch Easter (Let's Active / REM) who also appears as guest guitarist during the coda of track 'Fill the Ocean'. The album was mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound in NYC and was released on the eve of the summer solstice, 2014.
