Initial

by Standards, 1956

supported by

Steve Lawson the exact opposite of easy listening. Cathartic music from a dark place. Favorite track: Awake.

Andrew Dubber It's the sound of a friend dealing with some heavy shit in an artistic and sensitive manner - with lots of shouting. Favorite track: You Had Me At "Empire Records".

Jez Collins Raw and emotional acousto-punk, Standards lays it all on this album of intensely personal psychoanalysis and homage to his family. Favorite track: Awake.
