The Wire Review ❤️

Posted on by elizabethjoankelly in news

I’m so, so honored to once again be reviewed in The Wire, the most essential of avant-garde music magazines. Dan Barrow says of Farewell, Doomed Planet!, “at its best, as on “Feral At Night”, “Exclusion Zone Earth, (Or, All Hail Chernobyl Wolves)” and the closer “Beau Travail”, Farewell recalls William Basinski if his source material was “Personal Jesus” era Depeche Mode.”

The Wire can be read online with a subscription through Exact Editions, or look for a print copy at your local bookstore/library etc.
