The Longwalls' Careers in Science album has also landed on a few of best of 2011 lists by the fine folks at The Noise, Twangville, and Beat the Indie Drum! Thanks to all! Was a good year in SMR land. On to the next. 

Kurt von Stetten's Cyclops has made into a couple of stellar "best of" lists for 2011. Ryan's Smashing Life called Kurt a "prolific genius" and Music Savage says "The album deepens with each listen, and I’ve very much enjoyed hearing it again and again." We certainly agree. Thanks guys!

In case you missed it, Kurt von Stetten produced a video for the track Code of Fisherman off his new album Cyclops. Kurt hand painted all the elements before scanning them into his Commadore 64 to get his animation on. Check it!

Early reviews are in from Dysonsound, Music Savage, The Owl Mag, Earmilk, and Migrate Music. It's official, Kurt von Stetten's new album Cyclops is KILLING IT. More soon, when we catch our breath. Phew.
