FERAL CHILD RECORDS ******************* Distr. : UK - Piccadilly/Norman/ Style : reissue - 60's psych pop / FCR 01 DELPHINE La Fermeture Eclair 7" 04.2009 CLOTHILDE : Fallait Pas Ecraser La Queue Du Chat (Note : 7" , 300 numbered copies , murky marbled vin.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FERAL 002 JOY DIVISION : No Love Lost (demo) Excerpt 1 7" 09.2009 JOY DIVISION : No Love Lost (demo) Excerpt 2 BUZZCOCKS Whatever Happend To ? (Note : 7" , 150 hand-numbered copies , coloured sl. ; 30th anniversary of joint tour in 1979) ======================================================================================= FC 02 PETE ASTOR DO NOTHING 7" 09.2016 (Note : 7" , 300 hand-numb. copies) he label here: ‘Feral Child’ is something of an enigmatic little set up. It’s first release was an unofficial reissue of 2 French Girl Pop / Psych gems from 1967. Released in 2009, and with it’s Discogs listing stating that “we may see 3 x 45s in one month then go 3 years without hearing from them again”, they weren’t kidding. Still this is a lovely single to bounce back with 7 years later, and with an LP in the pipe from Brooklyn’s mighty “The New Lines” around the corner, perhaps Feral Child might just be a name to watch? A wonderful record and another beauty to add to Pete’s already esteemed back catalogue, expected to follow the path of previous recent work by attaining 6Music plays as well as reviews in ‘Shindig!’ And ‘Record Collector’. A quick fire sell out is expected so get on it! https://www.normanrecords.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FC 3 THE NEW LINES LOVE AND CANNIBALISM LP 11.2016 The New Lines are a group from contemporary New York who dream of existing in early 1970’s suburban England. Fortunately for us, they have recorded those, dreams, in which they frolic around within the sounds of psych-pop, eerie folk and library music. Love and Cannibalism is an atmospheric trip and no mistake. Pressed to vinyl in an edition of 300. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FC 4 SNAILS SAFE IN SILENCE LP 02.2017 FCC 4 SNAILS SAFE IN SILENCE LP 04.2018 (Note : LP , repress , 500 copies on blue vinyl) Bristol's Snails come out of their shell (sorry) with this their debut LP on the mysterious though collectible Feral Child imprint. They play a typically English form of song craft taking it's queues from the whimsical '60s work of the Kinks and Syd Barrett but their song structures and particularly the vocals of Dan Weltman are very reminiscent of under-rated English pop group Teleman. Ed of 300 copies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FC 5 ORANGE ALABASTER MUSHROOM : SPACE & TIME LP 12.2016 Reissue on psych splatter wax. A mighty collision of influences from the Syd-era Floyd, The Seeds and Electric Prunes that's simply magical! This compilation (originally released on Earworm in 2000) contains the tracks from the 'The Psychedelic Bedroom' 7-inch from 1996 and the 'The Slug' 7-inch from 1998, and adds compilation tracks and previously unreleased material. Ed. of 500 on coloured vinyl www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FC 6 LAKE RUTH BIRDS OF AMERICA LP 02.2018 The hugely anticipated second full length from Lake Ruth. Inspired by 1960's sonic experimentation, baroque psychedelia, library obscurities, vintage pop noir, Giallo soundtracks, kraut and jazz, Lake Ruth creates intriguing and unique music rich with multilayered instrumentation, propulsive rhythms and atmospheric vocals. "Explores all manner of '60s baroque psychedelia, full of chiming guitars, harpsichord, a wide array of organs and synthesizers, and dips into krautrock and other studies...gorgeous and bewitching." ~Brooklyn Vegan. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FC 07 LUNA CALIFORNIA BLUE 7" 11.2017 A California Blue B Rock Yr Baby (Note : 7" , 500 copies) California Blue/Rock Yr Baby by Luna is a 7” featuring two cover versions and will be released alongside the band’s new album A Sentimental Journey. Side A, California Blue is a cover of a song written by ELO’s Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison which was originally released on Roy Orbison’s 1989 ‘comeback’ LP Mystery Girl. The band claimed to have eschewed Jeff Lynne’s production style instead opting for a sound akin to Pavement’s off-kilter country classic, Range Life. The B-Side contains a cover of George McCrae’s disco classic and recent Luna live favourite Rock Yr Baby. https://www.normanrecords.com/records/167646 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FC 08 LUNA LONESOME COWBOY BILL 7" 11.2017 (Note : 7" , 500 copies) Luna’s Dean Wareham hooked up with his friend Cheval Sombre to record an album of western themed songs. Lonesome Cowboy Bill is one of two 7” singles to be released by Feral Child. Throughout Dean Wareham’s career with Galaxie 500 and Luna, the influence of the Velvet Underground has been apparent. Here, with Luna, he doffs his cap by covering the Doug Yule-penned song from the Velvet Underground’s Loaded album. On side B, Cheval Sombre gives us his interpretation. The album is due in 2018, until then you can enjoy Luna's more recent LP A Sentimental Education. https://www.normanrecords.com/records/167647 =======================================================================================
