“Stoned Temple Pilot” is the latest collaboration between Opio and Free The Robots. The spacey track is from their forthcoming Sempervirens album coming out September 18th. This past spring they released their first project together with The Subconscious Mind EP.
Opio and Free The Robots drop the video for “Blow Sum Smoke” from their Subconscious Mind EP and it makes the smoking experience an otherworldly trip that leads to a higher awareness.
