Flunk score «Album of the issue» in DJ Mag
Flunk gets the «Album of the issue»-slot in the June 15th issue of DJ Mag.
The review claims «For Sleepyheads Only» to be «the missing link between
Bristol, Jamaica, Norway, and North and South America. Heat dust and polar ice
become one, and a hundred emotions are gently uttered in the process. This is
ownbeat sophistication that screws the zeitgeist with a capital F».
We say thank you :-)
