OUT NOW Christopher Hoffman - REX (OOYH 040)

OUT NOW! Today is release day for Christopher Hoffman - REX (OOYH 040), and we’ve been excited to share this music with you for a very long time. This is a really special album. Bandcmap link above is best to purchase LP (many cool options), hand stamped CDs, or digital. Here’s a link to REX on streaming services: outofyourheadrecords.lnk.to/REX

As you listen, we highly recommend checking out some of the beautiful scans of Rex Brasher’s art. Here’s a link for that: rexbrasher.org/collection

A huge thanks to TJ Huff for album design, and for converting Brasher’s handwriting to be used at the album text and cover. For the vinyl people out there, the gatefold and insert are incredibly beautiful...we couldn’t be happier with how this all turned out. And big thank you as well to the Rex Brasher Association for their incredible support of this project.

We could say so much about what this album means to us, but Chris’ words are best:

“REX is a solo cello record written and recorded while I’ve been living in the former home of Rex Brasher, a self-taught painter who created over 1,200 watercolors of North American birds.

Composed for acoustic and electric cello, the record reflects the solitude and intensity that shaped both Brasher’s vision and my own process. Rex is not a portrait, but an echo—of a person, a place, and a way of seeing the world.

MMXXV”

Thanks so much for listening!
