Mr. Ruckman Announces Sooner or Later EP

Jim Steps

The profound Mr. Ruckman is set to release his two­ part concept piece Sooner or Later on April 13th. His ‘Sooner EP’ was released last year, now ‘Later’ is set to arrive to comprise the full 13 track album.

Such limitations could be considered a creative­hinderance to an artist, but Mr. Ruckman proves the contrary with refreshingly canny results. The concept comes from a place of monotony, with Mr. Ruckman … Continue reading Mr. Ruckman Announces Sooner or Later EP
