Selected Press
"Emmett and Mary is a goddamn rock opera that was recorded in one guy’s bedroom. It is an unabashed psychedelic masterpiece, and it gets in and out in under forty minutes. Emmett and Mary is a lot better than that trash you’re probably listening to right now."
- Jezebel Music [read the full review here]
