This Scott Tuma seems like a complicated chap. I think he's a man with a lot of feelings, many of them sad, if this LP is anything to go by. After a really bizarre opening track with almost nothing going on besides a peculiar high-pitched vocal, this album takes shape as a beautiful piece of minimal, almost neoclassical, guitar-led composition, based around organic tones and repetitive, mournful refrains. In places it kind of brings to mind Dirty Three at their most restrained, in others there are Celtic folk elements at play. It's an inviting aesthetic, both comforting and spooked, merging ambient warmth with minimal composition in a really therapeutic way. Apparently this album came out originally in '08 but this is its first vinyl pressing; a clear sign of quality when people are willing to take a punt on a pressing so long after the fact, and thankfully it's not difficult to hear why.
After much waiting we are very happy to finally present a first time vinyl edition of Scott Tuma’s essential 2008 masterwork Not For Nobody. Originally released on CD by the Digitalis label, this new vinyl edition was cut to vinyl by Jason Ward at Chicago Mastering Service and features brand new artwork from Chris Koelle. We have a very special deluxe art edition limited to only 44 copies worldwide. The LP is pressed on high quality virgin vinyl at RTI with a free download coupon. Also included is a 16 page 8.25″ x 8″ art book with original artwork from artist Chris Koelle. These art editions are deluxe – printed on thick stock paper and then hand-bound, hand-numbered and signed by Chris Koelle. The standard vinyl edition is limited to 600 copies with free download coupon. We have also made a limited cassette edition of 120 copies.
