Made the #2 spot on last year's RYM best-of list, if I'm not much mistaken.
this is the only way i'd back up the idea. to support something that's already somewhat done where you can get a rough idea of the final product.

just fronting money for someone to go into a studio and hopefully have something you like come out the other end? that's the whole point of a label.
