Beau Q., The Beat:
“Between the soft violence of severed fruit, flesh and object as corpse, and repeated use of matches (burnt and unburnt), Golden Record casts a meaningful and welcome examination on introspection that drives one to further self-motivated therapy rather than to pig out on candy-coated catharsis. In its setlist, Golden Record deftly weaves detailed conversation-starter spreads into an opulent meditation on self. What Valero-O’Connell lays to rest in this chapbook is a gilded history of feelings we are fortunate enough to be privy to — a brilliant graphic album recording thoughts as ephemeral as they are eternal. All that’s left to do is experience its shine for yourself.”
