One of the members of Veux has a record label and has put this up for free on the label site. Good on him. You can stream first too.

Spirituals has this as a promo pic on his Myspace, who am I to argue that some washed out blur is a pic of him?

Get. From. Pitchfork.

Pitchfork get some mileage out of the idea this track is assembled from free jazz samples, but the original material is sliced sufficiently finely that it could have come from anywhere and the results are really accessible.
