The New Yorker says:
“Hadar has clearly discovered a true outsider artist, and the naive charm of the album covers is a reminder that the greatest pop musicians succeed at implying an entire world as dazzlingly seductive as their songs.”
Time Out New York says:
“For sheer DIY poignancy, Mike’s curios outclass the efforts of many real singers.”
Entertainment Weekly says:
“Hot Wax! In Mingering Mike, Hadar presents the life story and 50-plus ‘albums’ of the pseudonymous star and the outsider artist who created him.”
The New York Times says:
“One obsessive outsider artist’s cracked reflection of a decade of soul, from love songs to consciousness-raising, from politics to kung fu tributes. Song titles like ‘She’s Not a One Guy Girl’ and ‘Let the Music Take Your Mind (the Brain Scramblers)’ could have been the real thing.”
