After a disastrous record label fiasco and break up with the band Toca – in 2008, Tony Gilbert of Squids Eye Records suggested that Anonymous Inc. and all of its friends and family should have an outlet to release their music whenever and however they felt like it. For their first release – Fake Four is collaborating with their good friends at Grimm Image Records in California to put out David Ramos’ This Up Here – a triumphant little album full of dirty keyboard sounds, airy harmonies and bittersweet nostalgia.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"take-care-of-yourself-2","title":"Take Care Of Yourself","description":"\u003cp\u003eNY rapper Dylan Owen's 'Take Care Of Yourself' is now on deluxe colored vinyl with four bonus tracks and a beautiful 4 page booklet printed on uncoated paper with liner notes.
