Promotional Information:
From the mind of Brant Bjork comes a trip through the Soulful side of things. 12 tracks of ghetto vibe wonder. World-renowned for his "Rock" drumming, Brant welcomes you to his side of the tracks... psychedelic, soulful, organic, sexy... The result of years of writing and composing, this record will also offer a highly personal side, as the cover art is also painted by Brant. MAN'S RUIN considers this one of their most interesting releases to date. File with: WAR, WATTS RIOTS, FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS...

Track listing

The original Man's Ruin album lists track #5 as "Oasis Layback", but was changed on the Duna release to "Sun Brother".
