Sounds Like
"... a 2-CD masterpiece of psych pop that takes the sounds of luminaries like John lennon, Robyn Hitchcock, XTC, contemporaries like Cotton Mather, Robert Pollard, Deleted Waveform Gatherings, and mixes it up to create something that stands astride its influences as its own artistic statement."

Bill Majoros has recorded and toured North America with a number of bands(Flux ad,The Clouldsmen/ The Paper Airplane Company,Universal Honey and Altogether Morris) with critical acclaim and support from such musical luminaries as Daniel Lanois (U2 ,Bob Dylan), Robbie Robertson and the late great BBC DJ John Peel.
