Description
This is a rare vinyl test pressing of the Dais Records release of Ross J. Farrar / R.J.F.'s album Cleaning Out The Empty Administration Building
"Exile" is an atmospheric wash of pared-down, reverb-heavy guitars that sound quite pretty with Farrar's subdued vocals." - Stereogum
"'Cleaning' is Ross Farrar's latest offering of raw, spoken word abstraction and experimental sound design, presented here as R.J.F. The front man for American bands Ceremony and SPICE realized his solo recording project initially as a challenge, to write songs from the ground up, learning the instrumentation and excavating his subconscious in the process. The point was not fluency in musicianship as much as vulnerability; to pull something honest from a moment, unguarded, unpolished, unapologetically amateur and pure. The collection finds Farrar engaged in open-ended poetic dialogue, crossing drum patterns and found sounds with stabs of guitar, bass, and keys. After over twenty years in the comfort and chaos of collaboration, Farrar sheds it all as a test. The results are distinctive and stirring."
