I’m so grateful to have launched Best Brother this year and to have put out two remarkable albums that mean the world to me.

Massive thanks to the fine humans at Post-Trash for the kind words and for sharing the new Rick Rude - Ensemble single and video today from their 3rd LP, Laverne. The album is available on purple and standard black vinyl here: https://bestbrotherrecords.bandcamp.com/ and here: https://midnightwerewolfrecords.bandcamp.com/
Come get some.

“Agglutination” feels cathartic, working from a general ease toward a mounting tension, but glistening all the while. The video, shot by Bryan Hamill and animated/edited by Rick Rude’s own Ryan Harrison, pairs together live performance footage with delightfully scribbled cartoons.
