SA album review

I enjoyed reading this review: http://www.brokenheadphones.com/?p=6809

Co-produced with his wife Nicole and classic Modern Lover/Talking Heads member Jerry Harrison!

Per pitchfork:
"...named after the first root note of the Indian raga. It arrives October 1 via Blue Arrow Records, with a vinyl and cassette tape release to follow in February 2019."

Earliest public manifestation of Jojo, Boston Globe December 28, 1966

When I was small, they took us to old Mechanic's Hall...
