Posted on December 14, 2012 | 1 Comment

At last! An ASC remix appearing on a release that has a photo of female armpit hair on the cover AND features William Bennett.

Maria & the Mirrors full length Vision Quest is out now on Japanese label 51 Records.

The CD features all previous M+Ms 7″ and 12″ releases along with two exclusive tracks and remixes by Astral Social Club, Vindatrix and William Bennett. Seems to be available in the UK from Parlour Records, or Japan from 51 Records direct.

Here’s a vid for my remix:
