“2025's the cloud chamber is an exquisite mix of lo-fi sounds, from her softly picked electric guitar and tender vocals to a well-placed theremin line.”

Super lovely writeup of “the cloud chamber” from Trilobite Polka Review! thanks Steev! ❤️

An edit of the "Yes... ha ha ha... YES!" sickos meme to replace the sicko with Cathy (from the syndicated newspaper comics) saying "Ack... ha ha ha... ACK!" with an expression of distress on her face. Her shirt also now reads "Ackos"
