Panghalina is the trio of Helen Svoboda (double bass, vocals), Bonnie Stewart (drum kit, vocals), and Maria Moles (drum kit, synthesizer). »Lava« is an ode to the connections between sound, emotion and human experience, exploring the interplay of sonic duality.

The album title, »Lava,« draws inspiration from the melding of sounds that resonates with the characteristics of molten rock - its subdued, unhurried motion juxtaposed against its fiery core. Just as molten rock emerges from a terrestrial planet, this collaboration springs forth from a distinctive sonic realm that is exclusively their own.
