INGA is a band led by musician Sam Gendel (voice/guitar). It features Adam Ratner and Kevin Yokota on guitar and drums, respectively. INGA is beauty beyond language. Think of this as a short movie for your mind. It is here that INGA celebrates imagination, encounters something unusual, presents a question without an answer, and trusts in the moment.

“Infinity / ______” is poetry in motion, speaking to the times in which we are living and beyond. This is a time for pure expression that touches on the core of all things. “Infinity / ______” touches this center point. The words carry the music, and the music delivers the language; it is multi-dimensional. What you are experiencing with INGA is 3 musicians in a room, captured in a recording as they express a feeling in the moment. The moment is preserved, but it continues moving forward into infinity. P.S. The second part of the track is mysterious.

“some of the most resonant and beautiful music of his career” Andy Beta -NPR

“Paul de Jong’s solo project deserves to be explored and enjoyed as its own entity, but acts as a de facto successor to the Books, and manages to push the limits of the duo’s previous outputs.” -Scott Simpson -Exclaim

“It is the sound of someone at the halfway point of their life, looking forward and backward. In that, it’s a quiet return to 2003’sThe Lemon of Pink. IF is patient and spacious, suggesting that de Jong has found solitude, if not peace, between the strings of his cello.” Nina Corcoran –Pitchfork
