“PC Muñoz’s first spoken word album in two decades is a lushly rhythmic exploration that exists at the crossroads of music, poetry, oral history, and storytelling.

Rob Arnold, Author and Executive Director, Poets House of NYC
“Think Bauhaus couch-hopping in the Bay Area, or a Mike Ladd-esque synth, deep in Oceania's tongue ancestral. ‘Little Ransoms’

"(PC Muñoz) is truly a modern musician, equally at home with a live band, playing the most organic of instruments...or hunched over a computer, making beats and working magic with ProTools..."
