Jeff's music is indescribable. Sure, you could describe it I guess, but you wouldn't do it justice. Beautiful and bombastic. This is the real deal. Shawn Fogel
In a more just universe, I wouldn't need to recommend this album, because everyone would already know The Claudia Malibu and everyone would already own a copy of "STAR". It's that good! Shawn Fogel
Rich and rococo indie pop songs define this LP from Franklin Gothic, a light psychedelic sheen washing over all of it. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 20, 2022
