Radio Free Midwich Review of 'SEAWEED OF SILK'


The rather very lovely Rob Hayler has written some very complimentary words about 'SEAWEED OF SILK', the collaborative zine/3"CDr Posset and I put out recently, over at Radio Free Midwich. The above image should be a link to the blog, so click it if you would like a read.

Thank you very much to Rob for taking the time to check out our work; it is very much appreciated.
