In work ranging from lo-fi folk to free improvisation to fullon noise rock to musique concrète to trance to jazz to blues to theatrical sound art, Shelly Blake"s musical life has been nothing if not eclectic. "With Discourse and Correspondence, Blake has offered us an innovative and unique collection of dark songs ... from traditional to avant-garde, Blake"s compositions, while often simple and straightforward, run the gamut and leave little room to question his dexterity." -- Urban Pollution
