Like entering a funhouse, in the best kind of way. Metalengua takes us on a sensory adventure of sonic color, texture, and just….well, fun. Take a look at their latest Listening Room, then read on for a little more from the group themselves. We have tons of other Listening Room interviews with other Sofar artists, including Ausar and Felisha George.
