    LUMBEROB is Rob Erickson.

    LUMBEROB began as a solo looping concept project in late 1999 in Austin, Texas, way before looping was a genre. The work was raw and spastic. It was a simple show, a vocal show: a mic run through an Octave pedal and a Fuzz Factory into an AKAI Headrush looper. Always illegible, the loops were guttural, choppy, vocal noise - direct and live, always wholly improvised and never ever ever using pre-slugged playback. Just do a YouTube search for Lumberob and see for yourself. There's plenty to see.

about

LANGUAGE LEARNER is a bold exercise in genre discovery and genre blur, proudly assuming its position in high contrast to several other recent and gorgeously crafted Shimmy-Disc releases. It is this contrast that’s reminiscent of the wildly divergent and inventive catalog curated by KRAMER from decades past.

Shimmy-Disc is a label without a genre. It always has been. It always will be.

LANGUAGE LEARNER is the long-time-coming debut LP by LUMBEROB. With a front cover portrait by renowned NYC painter Sonya Sklaroff and music (Produced by Lumberob & Kramer) to dance and sing and cry til you die, this LP is just the beginning. A new audio-art genre is born. We challenge you to find something that sounds even remotely similar.

Shimmy-Disc is proud to welcome this most extraordinary, multi-disciplinary artist to its 21st century roster.
