Review: Ramona Falls – Prophet (2012)
Ramona Falls came out of a delayed album and thirty-five people. Ambitious, yet thankfully those people were part of the process leading up to the debut Intuit instead of a touring caravan of Polyphonic proportions. Brent Knopf is at the heart of the indie rock beast, someth
