Justin Sweatt - Say Your Goodbyes LP. That’s the actual name of one of my favorite ex-Austin musicians, Xander Harris, moniker now retired since the turn of 2019. This album is not only his first foray into a more Eno-esque ambient world but also represents the first intentions of NRR to be a label that focuses on the larger realm of underground music, and not just extreme metal. Featuring two photographs of mine while on a solo expedition in Alaska 2015 and dubbed “Private Music for Private People” by Justin himself; this is a very intimate and important release for us. I hope there are some of you out there that will appreciate the delicacy.

The material is inspired by albums like Eno’s “Another Green World”, releases from artists like Cluster & Roedelius, and Riechmann’s “Wunderbar”. Gazing into a small window of independent artists' catalogs of the late 70s/early 80s where looking inward for answers was a brave statement rather than relying on the shocking outward. Some of this material was written as practice exercises during my time as a percussionist/synth player in Neil Lord’s project Future Museums. Some of the material was written in response to the realization of getting what you need is far more attractive in the end than getting what you want. It’s an album intended for late nights with a glass of wine thinking about what work you need to do on yourself but also reflecting on the positives those you love have given you.
