Snake Island by Mona Mur
"A veritable firework of first-class industrial/punk with charismatic vocals and the unexpected. 9/10" -Promoportal
"Guitar heavy banger of an album...avant-garde crunchy slam poetry punk ethos feel...This record encapsulates what previous generation's artists have to teach the next about how music can be the spearhead of a movement." -Sounds and Shadows
"This is industrial at its finest and most authentic." -V13
"After 40-some years in the music business, Mur continues to impress as she reinvents and adapts her sound and incorporates new tools in her arsenal, while still offering a distinct creative voice. Mona Mur proves to be an auteur whose intoxicating musical vision will resonate for many years to come." -ReGen Magazine
