"If we can't embrace something within the first five seconds, we move on to something else. And that's not how you find greatness, that's not how you find art. You find it by sitting in front of a painting and staring at it for an hour and maybe you'll see what's going on. Have you seen a Jackson Pollock painting? You can sit for ten hours and find something new in every moment that you're sitting there. You don't get it by glancing, but that's where we are with music ... people glance." - Greg Spero on current musical tastes
Spero's latest project, Spirit Fingers, just released a new album.
