Not many people noticed the day the airwaves went silent. Thousands of radio stations across the country powered down for the last time. Twenty years on, even fewer noticed the day the towers came back to life, broadcasting on repeat, a handful of songs that don't exist.

An experiment in sequential and epostolary storytelling, Wilson, Demus, Paratone, and Jamit present the soundtrack of a wannabe podcaster, a teen graffitti artist and her estranged brother, a former disc jockey, the newest owner of a vinyl legacy, and a tortured singer on the cusp of greatness.

I love how this comic book brings out all the best entertainment such as the radio, cassette tapes, and music vinyls to life.

True to the spirit of a mixtape, the novel is eclectic and layered. It blends poetic introspection with visual storytelling, balancing narrative complexity with emotional sincerity.
