L.G.R runs as a consistent visual marker across his releases, now expanded in The Session, pulling from First…

Dale Watson figured it out. He figured out what’s wrong with our disconnected, polarised era. He figured out why we’re caught in a death spiral of social media outrage, intractable positions, and argument instead of dialogue. And it’s so simple. It’s been right there all along: Bucket seats.“I had an epiphany about the one thing that divided society and separated people from each other,” Dale says. “Bucket seats. If we just went back to bench seats, I think we’d all get along a lot better.”This revolutionary philosophical approach is all about empathy. “With bench seats, three guys get into a…

An original story, no sequel branding, PG-13 sci-fi about a man who wakes up alone on a spaceship with no memory.…
