RTR027 "Rivers" Songs For Moms LP

After a six year hiatus, SONGS FOR MOMS regrouped and created this powerful five song EP that blends the flavors at the point of their break and the maturity of their reunion. 

Recorded at House of Faith Records in Oakland, California during their explosive and heart-wrenching comeback shows in early 2016. SONGS FOR MOMS' importance as a band is electric and they've influenced a generation of musicians. Weird, skillful and outside the rules, these songs are perfect as always. 

This was a limited run of 500 one-sided black vinyl with a silk screened blank back side. Look for continued distribution via Don Giovanni Records in the next months.
