The Brattleboro VT artist Ruth Garbus who has given us the album Rendezvous with Rama (Feeding Tube/Autumn Records), work in theFeathers Family collective, the quartet Happy Birthday & more released the EP shares the new Hello Everybody 7″ available now from OSR as part of the label’s last ever batch of releases.

Working with legendary percussionist Larry McDonald along with the OSR steadfast team of Julia Tadlock, Zach Phillips, Sam Lisabeth & Quentin Moore; Ruth’s compositions rise up to her most vibrant array of ambitious levels to date. “Hello Everybody” is the ultimate opener where Ruth stands in all of her power & glory backed up by the best of the best. And with such confidence is a whole lot of honesty & heart as heard on the warm feeling of “Grey Sweatshirt” that abides by a very original drum & chord scheme, accesorizing on “Black Bag” where lyrcs get hyper-charged & rapid in a hyper drive reality that leaves you with the graceful beauty of “Vases” that will leave you wanting to hear further collaborations from all of these artists.

Ruth Garbus’s Hello Everybody 7″ is available now from OSR.
