As much of the world went into lockdown in March of 2020, Stay Home Sound Machine was formed as a way in which to stay creative and connected. The collective’s debut album was written and recorded remotely over a five-month period, bringing together collaborations with artists from the US, Australia, Canada, UK, and Ghana. Stay Home Sound Machine is Kieran Jones, Sandy Buglass, and Andrei L’vov-Basirov (aka Sugar Jesus).
