banaag by sunpearl
banaag (bah-náh-ahg): a faint light, a glimmer, the first rays of dawn.
banaag was born from 19 minutes of improvisation captured between recording sessions at the bridge studio. it runs 13 minutes across three songs and is sunpearl's very first attempt at materializing the feelings of curiosity, honesty, and vulnerability.
