The second EP by NYC’s Special Characters, originally released in 2023 on Luv*Jam’s label *The Legend of Gelert*, is now out on *The Based Faith*. Although there’s very little information available about this label, it’s run by Richard Rozen from NYC, who also releases music on *The Legend of Gelert*. A great piece of NYC underground music.
