“Shout out to Phoebe for the cancer season release, this was the perfect thing to listen to as I hit rock bottom and worked through trauma. This album will forever hold a special place in my heart. An absolute work of art from start to finish.”

“From the first second I heard this album I was hooked, every song is terrific. I've already bought your cassette, after hearing it only yesterday and I don't even own a cassette player! If that doesn't say something, then I don't know what does.”
“Great cause of course, but a record well worth your dollars regardless. Large and disparate collection incorporating many music styles and genres, and every track seems to have a fair amount of merit.”
