Western Teleport

VINYL FORMAT. Songwriter and noise pop saboteur Emperor X traded his pursuit of a master's degree in physics for the life of an underground minstrel. For the past 10 years, C.R. Matheny has been traveling the country playing all ages shows and punk houses while self-releasing a string of albums that have quietly built him a devoted cult following. The Riverfront Times calls him a "heartfelt, imaginative song canon." Prefix Mag says, "Emperor X seems to be pioneering a musical style that combines the most effective elements of lo-fi recording, analog electronics and formula rock . . . the songs are fantastic." Emperor X's ambitious geo-caching art project The Blythe Archives garnered spontaneous acclaim across the Internet when he released GPS coordinates that sent fans around the world in search of one of a kind recordings buried under the ground.
