Erin Smogor, a Pittsburgh artist with charisma and wit, makes her debut with Erin Smogor Hates Mike Macharyas. In this off-the-wall tribute to her 12 friends, she gets a little help from six-year-old Mia. Mia handles the vocals on several tracks and she is the coolest kid ever. Erin Smogor Hates Mike Macharyas was produced by legendary lo-fi artist NNMaddox, who also provided the musical beds for Smogor's bizarre commentary. Smogor tackles reggae, indie rock, techno, rockabilly, and just about every other musical genre on this masterpiece of an album. With this release, she proves the world has a new Laurie Anderson on its hands.
