My Fun (LND001)
Debut full length from My Fun. Two years in the making, the album lives up to its title, including a vast array of sonic textures and diverse instrumentation ranging from guitars and drums to harps and strings. Deftly weaving field recordings and acoustic instruments into an expansive series of sound pictures, the album works towards a brilliant fireworks climax which leaves the listener ooo-ing and aah-ing for more.

The Wire ISSUE 264, FEB 2006
"Wide - Awake" also features a yin, yang pair of harp chords, this time with a faintly oriental cast - they come swathed in static and punctuated by a single, slurred guitar note that conjures a whole imaginary Morricone score. Like the whole CD, it's poised, astringent and entirely lovely. - Chris Sharp
Touching Extremes
Beautiful things all over the record, with a human touch rarely found in most of today's extra cool-super-glitch collections of laptop fragments; "The quality of something audible" is a self explanatory title in a palatable pot-pourri of big, even bigger, fresh-sounding pleasures. -Massimo Ricci
Justin Hardison has been creating work under the name My Fun using field recordings, sampling, found sounds and electronic processing with releases on The Land Of, Stasisfield, Ristretto and Test Tube labels. His primary focus is exploring the emotive quality of everyday sounds and aims to create narrative work without a particular music genre guiding the final editing process.
