Dave Ruder – Qualms Rectified

 released 10/13/17 on tape, CD, and digital

Qualms Rectified is GBR founder Dave Ruder‘s first solo album since 2014’s Untuned, and first full length album primarily of songs sort of ever.  With performances by Dave and a dozen guests (many of them GBR artists themselves), this album explores some ambitious and wide-ranging sonic territory from the sparse and quiet “ili” to the conflicting layers of “…Pooltron” to the uptempo kiss off in “Fuck You Steve”.
