“Kevin delivers a world overflowing with ripe imaginations and visuals that allow you to truly become lost inside his palace of notes.”

“Like a chamber emptying it's rounds, doseone surrounds you in the symphony of his own design, using your ears for target practice.”

“As a 7" release, this two-song record packs an insanely nostalgic, and memorable punch that will leave you singing long after it’s done spinning.”

“The compositions here are just whimsically raw and encapsulate the found sound genre in the new age, all while being totally and completely removed from time.”

“Axiom Verge isn't just a game or an experience, it's a transformation of one man's own dreams into a reality.”

“From sweeping orchestral strings to skull-vibrating synths, what Jon has done for the Shadowrun series is nothing short of incredible.”

“With all of its trepid highs and moody lows, this album throws you through a gambit of emotions that is just simply memorable.”
