Kind words:
“The Future Magic Vol. 1 compilation from Mushpot PR is super super (as is the WAMPIRE/Brill Building untrue story accompanying it on Said the Gramophone) and well worth downloading. I’m sold immediately on Emperor X, endearing and lo-fi and electronic, synths and bleeps and tape hiss (modern man optional).” – HANDSOME YOUNG STRANGER
