The four members of The Invisible Astro Healing Rhythm Quartet formed in 2010 while studying music at Bakersfield College in sunny Bakersfield, California; a region known (musically) for the twangy, steel-guitar sound popularized by hometown heroes Buck Owens & Merle Haggard. IAHRQ take a decidedly different approach, reaching skyward toward the cosmos & the outer reaches of cosmic, spiritual jazz & Ethio-centric long-form jams. "2" is the aptly named second album from the quartet (the first was released in late 2013 on noted composer & trumpet player Kris Tiner's Epigraph Records) was recorded & produced by Chris Schlarb (Psychic Temple).
