Friends of the West Coast - Returning is elated to announce our upcoming journey across the landscapes of Western Turtle Island, in support of our forthcoming full-length album Numinous, soon to be released by Bindrune Recordings. The creation of this music and performance represents a decisively new era for Returning, and we look forward eagerly to sharing it with our friends and supporters across the West Coast.

The volatility and abject cruelty of the current era demands an intensified commitment to speak truth, to seek beauty, to embody our fiercest, most loving presences. To these ends we strive diligently. Join us in this sacred work!

More information regarding the release of Numinous coming soon.
