Jeremy Young presents “With all our knowable ills, in airs thickened by electricity, we reset our chessboards.” [mix]

We’ve been fans of Jeremy Young‘s work, as a solo artist and band member, for as long as we’ve been doing this blog; we reviewed a Sontag Shogun split and a solo  szilárd record way back in 2012, and before

Ukrainian Field Notes XLIII
