sweeet been wanting to do a release like this for a few years and couldn't be happier w how these songs turned out. big thanks to honorary rfe member quinton for working w us thru the years. honestly can't imagine doing rfe w another engineer, and frankly wouldn't want to. always a pleasure hangin, recording shit, and smashing del taco together. sean @maxim_memegrov one of my best bois throwing down viola on track 3, thank you b i love you. thank you joe @chokeartistnj my diy prime minister, helping out w so many logistics and the physical release. i don't know how someone can play in ten bands and still have energy to continue helping so many people, but he does. thank you kait for some clutch design work and helping out. thank you dave @the_gradwell_house for mastering this thing, you did a beautiful job. thanks to my brother jake for the artwork. and of course, thank you greggy @gregmileslewis for doin rfe w me all these years. we got these songs together remotely, had two rehearsals, then went to q's to record. it is a true privilege to play w greg, he is one of the most hardworking/trustworthy/generous/reliable people i know, and is an absolute CUTIE on the drum set. we hope yall enjoy these songs & we appreciate the hell out of any n all of you whether you love, hate, or feel indifferent about our music. we'd be doing it regardless but it's cool when people feel something. thanks.

Very stoked to announce a new 7” record from my two desert boyz in @robfordexplorer New EP “Nil” + Two Songs (2022) 7” up for pre-order up in the shop now. I always loved this band for how dynamic they were capable of being. The stuff they make always sounds so effortless and fluid. Their new EP “Nil” is such an awesome departure - the boys went skramz mode and added some vox. I think it’s a huge level up for them and I think you’ll feel the same way. New song “Clarko’s Lamb” is out now go check it out xo Catch them on tour with Floral this Oct/Nov and go cop some vinyl xo

This Saturday marks 1 year of Rob Ford Explorer’s “nil” EP. We pressed it to a 7” along with 2022’s “two song” EP. Here’s a clip of their track “Rory’s Feat” from the B-side. Watching this band play every night for a month straight was such a treat. While a lot of math rock can feel “in the box” I really appreciate how organic and natural RFE’s music comes across. Good Vibes from Good Guys if you ask me. Down to the last 20 of the 1/2 blue 1/2 white variant - vinyl in the shop xo #mathrock
