Rich Ruth - Calming Signals

scum stats - regarding the green vinyl, Swank says “they only gave me one copy” how many did they make “I think it was a hundred” the rest are on black (350?)

Sorry if this one feels a little rushed, but I’ve been playing Kanye detective for most of the day. But I am so PSYCHED that my dear friend, TMR co-founder, best bud and all around fan of tarantulas Ben Swank has started his own record label!

His imprint, Plant Life Records, co-released this with General General Records.

The best context to give you on this one is the thank you to “Brian Eno and all the real heads out there.”

If I need to explain THAT context…spacious pseudo-ambience with a layered groove and the distinct ability to be appreciated by damn-near anybody. Reminiscent of my Detroit heroes Westerbur & Rowe. Calming indeed.

I’m giving away a copy of this record (black vinyl, duh) for the best comment here about a moment where you were SO proud of a friend. Make ‘em good.
