Top music critic Jonathan Widran is no stranger to reviewing Wayfarers and we always thankful for it. In his latest review for Wayfarer Records’ artists he talks about Dashmesh and his brand-new recording Biomimesis. Jonathan yet again brings his trademark insight into his reviews and we are overjoyed that he totally gets Dashmesh’s vision for this amazing new release. In the review, Jonathan said it best when he said “There are literally thousands of eye opening, soul awakening delights to experience that English adjectives can only hint at.” We could not agree more. 

For the entire review on Dashmesh’s Biomimesis, check out JW Vibe HERE and be sure to support Dashmesh by picking up a copy of Biomimesis HERE or check it out at your favorite digital outlet.
