Altars by Spencer LaJoye
"Altars" is an eclectic, 11-song journey through disenchantment to a declaration of human sacredness. For the first time in four years, LaJoye’s pop/folk, rhythm guitar-driven songs come to life in full band arrangements, as well as collaborations with artists specializing in ambient electronica and analog synth production.
