Party Store Fred's got the gift. Favorite track: Sonar.

dstrzynski Memorable and listenable this is a synth album that is as good in practice as it is in theory. Subtly buoyant these tracks are never crushed by the overlying somber mood of the whole. Comes wrapped in a lo-fi gauze as warm as a hazy August afternoon. Favorite track: Non-Romantic Light Rail Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony.

Rocky Sublime instrumentation that evokes a myriad of thoughts and feelings. I have always loved the instrumentals on Fred Thomas’s albums. This is incredible to have a full album of this work. I am not sure if I have a favorite. Love the whole release.

  • Pre-Order for Limited LP on Multicolor Vinyl • Edition of 100.
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    A super limited run of LPs is being manufactured now, and should be ready to ship at the end of October or mid-November, depending on delays. Full-color jackets and labels, multicolor vinyl and only 100 copies being pressed as a souvenir of the strange summer we've been collectively enduring. The records aren't made yet so the photo is just a mock-up to activate your imaginations and entice you to pre-order a copy before they're all gone. I'm willing to ship outside of the U.S. but it's so wildly expensive. Please get in touch if you're ordering from overseas and want to get multiple copies to save on postage, or set up some other kind of deal. Thanks for the support!!
