Not only is this a great idea to help Will get back on his feet but it is also an effective way to raise awareness of the disease. It seems that cancer is affecting us all in one way or another but if we can increase the dialogue about it, especially in “cool” circles such as independent music, then we can remove the taboo nature of the disease and save as many lives as possible. You can pre-order the album right now on Bandcamp.

Also, if you’re not familiar with Stratton’s music, then I suggest you check out his Bandcamp page, starting with  last year’s Post-Empire.
