Run_Return: Sum of an Abstract

Run_Return is the post-rock, almost jazzy output of duo Kevin Dineen and Tommy Fugelsang based out of Santa Cruz, California. Immediately bands like Tortoise and Four Tet come to mind when listening to this record, which is never bad company. The album consists of tunes recorded between 1999 and 2001, but it holds up really well as a re-release.
