Album Review : Com Truise ‘Iteration’
Yeah, I know that name annoys some people. It doesn’t me, but I get it. Seth Haley’s musical project Com Truise has been making retro-futuristic electronic music since the release of 2011s Galactic Melt.

How many words have been written about The Beatles in the last five and a half decades?
