Ruby of Thanks is the project of multi-artist Andy Weaver, his new album, Before You Turn Into A Dog, will arrive on September 18th on Woodsist, ahead of the LP’s arrival, Weaver has shared “Flosser.” Weaver is also a house painter and drummer who’s played with Widowspeak, Castanets, Wildflower, and Andre Ethier.

Split between solo recordings made at Weaver’s home in Kingston—where he played every instrument himself—and collaborative sessions with friends in Cairo and Catskill, Before You Turn Into A Dog values process as much as polish. Several songs preserve their very first complete performances, documenting ideas as they emerge rather than after they’ve been refined. “Hopefully it captures some spirit of creation,” Weaver says. “The idea of songwriting as a way to process events and create peace at home by working with your hands, making things. Self-recording as a response to capitalism in art.”
