Regarding a song written by Fortuny: “Set against the evocative backdrop of a neon-lit rendezvous, the track blends the lyrical wit of Serge Gainsbourg with the infectious grooves of Daft Punk.” -BJ Panda Bear, Music: Tormento, Reserved
“The single ‘Des Animaux Pires Que Moi’ sounds like a threat wrapped in velvet. As if Jean Rollin had titled a France Gall album. And the cinematic simile isn't far-fetched: the album draws on alchemy, black magic, the occult, and 1970s pulp novels as its raw material, courtesy of the evocative grayscale lyrics of artist and composer Margo Fortuny (who wrote the…LP's lyrics and the album cover).” -Borja Coquillat, Atonal
“This month we look at the connection between literature and place in an interview with Margo Fortuny, one of America’s finest young literary talents.” -Peter Moore, Three Places, Three Books, European Vibe
“It was her boundless energy and experience DJing, blogging, dancing, painting, and kung fu fighting that made her infinitely more valuable than your common advertising expert.” -Gerry Human, An Experiment Gone Right, Circle
