The Good Ones: Rwanda, You Should Be Loved

Vinyl LP pressing. For The Good Ones' album, Rwanda, You Should Be Loved, bandleader Adrien Kazigira composed over forty songs. Most were meditations on his now thirteen-year-old daughter, Marie-Claire, and the life-threatening tumor that has afflicted her left-eye. The recording was done live without overdubs on Adrien's farm and was imbued with the passing of producer Ian Brennan's mother during the days that they were there together as well as a former founding band member recently having succumbed to his own demons. The Good Ones renown is evidenced by the stellar musicians who collaborated with them on the new album: Wilco's Nels Cline, TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe, Sleater-Kinney's Corin Tucker, My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields, and Fugazi's Joe Lally.
