A Little Less Like A Rock. A Little More Like Home Vinyl

Richard Laviolette (1982-2023) released his second record a little less like a rock, a little more like home on CD in 2006 on Burnt Oak Records, an artist-run co-operative and independent record label co-founded by Brad MacInerny, Ryan Newell and jiaqing wilson-yang, active between 2005 and 2007. Burnt Oak was based out of a rented house at 127 Grange Street in Guelph, Ontario, where the collective lived, rehearsed, hung out, and hosted all ages shows, also recording each others' music, packing and mailing CD orders, and silk-screening and sewing the covers for the albums they released.Combining folk, rock, and country influences, a little less like a rock, a little more like home is a beloved lo-fi classic of brilliant songwriting and powerful vocals, animated by Richard's deeply held anti-capitalist, anti-colonial, DIY, and community-based ethos. It includes some of Richard's most timeless songs and performances, including the unclassifiable magic of Qq, the shockingly intimate and utterly cosmic Ants vs. Universe, and the beautifully fingerpicked folk-song Oncoming Trains. You've Changed Records is proud to present this first ever vinyl pressing of a little less like a rock, a little more like home. This Limited Edition LP features audio newly mastered for vinyl by Kevin Parks, recreated artwork by artist sophia bartholomew, and includes a full lyric insert.
