On his sixth LP, Sam Cook-Parrott isn’t playing with nostalgia; he's actively avoiding it. Over the course of fifteen years, he’s grown RH from a solo, bedroom-recording project into a fully-fledged rock n roll quartet, skirting with mainstream success while garnering a reputation as a true underdog of the DIY scene.
Returning to his home-recorded bedroom-pop origins offered Sam a new kind of freedom, leaving him to explore the roots of his work, to push things to the outer-edges of boundaries that had naturally existed within a more traditional band setup. The result is Distorting Time, a brand new collection of Radiator Hospital songs—his first release on Lame-O Records—recorded to 4-track cassette in Sam’s home, with a few additional flourishes captured at Jeff Zeigler's Uniform Recording studio in Philadelphia.
