“LE COULEUR - Moderne, Transgressive et Excessive” by Jean-Vital Joliat

“MY DEAREST FRIENDS- Reid Anderson” by Dan Sloan
A mysterious cult known only by their ubiquitous symbol gathers for a celebration, but things soon turn sinister. This is the backdrop to the beautifully melodic "My Dearest Friends" by Reid Anderson, who plays the enigmatic leader.
