Finished the McEwan, enjoyed the reversal at the end.

“This Matador debut captures the wild, raw, unfiltered power of Marshall’s art, an unpredictable electricity that runs through the songs, buzzing and fizzing and threatening explosion at any time.” Looking back on What Would the Community Think? aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/02/06/c...

“If we were writing a children’s book about this band, we might title it The Regional Norwegian Jazz Orchestra That Could,” writes Bill Meyer. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/8078162...
