Listening to Wilkes numerous times, considering
what I might write about it for a Press Release, (which I
agreed to do because I'm a fan of his Music and his
collaborations with Sam Gendel and Louis Cole / Knower,)
I was growing in enthusiasm, looking forward to my
next radio show or DJ set including the song "Today"
so I could hear it bump in a nice system. I was hyped
the more I took in this 6 song offering. I thought to ask
Sam about his new record and use his answers as aid
to illustrate some of my feelings, but when I read his
reply I thought you should too. It's so descriptive
and visual, perfect to pull from and quote.
