His last LP, 2023’s ‘Mork Calling Orson’ received praise from Brooklyn Vegan, Okayplayer (“a seamless body of work”), Bandcamp, Clash (“Jehst’s voice feels three-dimensional”), PopMatters (“another jewel in the venerable MC’s crown”) and The Wire (“a series of hazy transmissions from a strange, alien world”).
