@spiritofradio - You are welcome, but credit where it's due...Notec had first posted about Stephen R. Smith on The Minority Report back in 2014. Justbgunn commented about SRS very recently and that renewed my interest. I'd forgotten all about the original posting.
@slaw - hope you get a nice clean piece of vinyl and that you enjoy the music. For me, Sketchbook has great guitar tone and textures + actual melody. It's in a "post rock" vein, maybe, but more focused and "intentional" than what I usually associate with post-rock. I'll be curious to know what you think.
