vermontHis name is Connor Kirby-Long. He's from St. Johnsbury, VT. He is 17 years old. He has recently released an indie-electronica album called "Handwriting," about which the following has been written:

"Noise slithers like a living thing between burrs of teenage angst and buzzing tingles of youthful exuberance. The album as a whole wavers between unhinged fragility and resolute chaos; the only anchor is the soft crack of Khonnor's voice." --Earplug

"The fact is that Handwriting is an exceptionally impressive and moving debut album from an artist so young and, interestingly, with such a limited range of equipment to hand. What do you do if you want to release a professional sounding album when you only have a few acoustic instruments, an old PC, a microphone from an old Learn Japanese set and a single PC speaker to hand?" --Igloomag

"Coming off like a blend of Depeche Mode if produced or led by Trent Reznor" --popmatters.com

Cool.
