Disingenuous use of quotes from "the press"

edit

I've removed the following quote about the KINGSIZE BLACKFOOT album that was attributed, without citation, to "the press." I googled the quote, and found that it exists only on social media for Jinder, text aggregators, and as a description of the album on the Bio section of Jinder's website, which reads as follows:

"Following the lo-fi folk noir of 2015's bestselling LP 'Traditional Dark', his tenth album 'Presents...KINGSIZE BLACKFOOT', released in 2017, is an intense and joyful exploration of American roots music, drenched in gutbucket Delta blues slide guitar, Bluegrass from the heart of Appalachia, Louisiana murder ballads, Country Blues and even an impassioned update of Yip Harburg and Jay Gorney's Depression-era anthem 'Brother Can You Spare A Dime'."

This is, word-for-word, the text I removed. It is not presented as being from "the press" at all on the bio, and so I have to conclude that this is a disingenuous attempt at self-promotion. If anybody wants to correct me on this, please do, but this page has obvious and dubious issues with tone and sourcing.
