The legendary Tatsuya Yoshida has been operating under the Ruins moniker for over 26 years, spewing out dozens of recordings on 'recordings on acclaimed labels such as Skin Graft, Tzadik and Ipecac. An icon of Japanese alternative culture – Yoshida’s commitment to composing and producing the most insanely complex and progressive music becomes instantly apparent when his sticks touch the drums. It is simply impossible to imagine artists like Zach Hill, The Boredoms and Lightning Bolt existing without his presence. 'Ruins Alone' is a one man orchestra that genuinely defies belief to witness. Forget any flash in the pan, hyped, pseudo-virtuosos. This is the REAL shit. An Essential gig
