Sister Ruth started from a New Years resolution, made on January 1st 2008 by Dean Birkett, someone with no musical experience whatsoever. The resolution was to buy a keyboard, get some software, and stumble through the year pretending to be a musician. This is the outcome. Influences are drawn from the likes of The Caretaker, Library Tapes, Sylvain Chauveau, and anbody else who can appreciate that no sound at all, is just as important as sound.
