Available to listen to are songs from Kent's new album, Project, and a collage of other material he has been working on.  Rather than make you download the whole song we have streamed the audio so that it plays while it loads. This can be temperamental on slower internet connections.  Just select a song in the Flash Media Player below.  Other releases from Kent Thompson are available to purchase from Criminal Records in the UK and Acne Records in the US.
