So you know when I said I had a lot in my draft file, well here’s something I put together in 2015 when I started this journey and forgot to post but fits really well in #Rolemodels.
I have often wondered…

Released May 3, 2019
At the moment, I am in semi offline state trying to get some projects of my own finished. However, I will not be abandoning things completely and anyway it gives me a good chance to finally post things that have mysteriously been left in my drafts, for a long time.
Let’s begin with this excoriating in a good way release from 2017 –

The Nashville artist’s work has the slippery strangeness of electronic music from the late ’70s and early ’80s.

Following on from the Yeah I Know it Sucks review of AA0020 by tendencyitis , I had a look through the FLUF catalogue and found these that you may be interested in – Sonically bite sized too but not superficial for that.
