" data-original-title="" title="">Vinnie Sperrazza. Their album, August in March (Imani Records), is "a vivid representation of the musical, interpersonal and community-oriented ideas that the three forward-thinking musicians that make up EMBER...care deeply about."

This conversation explores the heady thematic elements of EMBER's music: humanism, community, place, and the importance of being a band of equals.

Stick around after the discussion to hear the track "Flotation Device and the Shivers" from August in March, by EMBER.
