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 A1 In Which A Child Consults The Occult To Revive His Dead Cat 1 A2 Weatherman's Apology A3 Mass Observation A4 Ventriloquism A5 Cayetano's Prayer A6 The Phylactery's Lesson B1 In Which A Child Consults The Occult To Revive His Dead Cat 2 B2 Because No One Knows B3 It's Not All In Your Head B4 Love And Cannibalism B5 Cayetano's Answer B6 Johnny Appleseed B7 The Fateful Exposition of Captain Socko 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) A1 Jennifer Jones A2 Winter Hearts A3 Red Nose Floating A4 More Than A Second A5 Talking To Anthony B1 Olivia B2 Safe In Silence B3 Seventeen B4 Maisie B5 Go On Down 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 A1 Your Face Is In My Mind A2 (We Are) The Orange Alabaster Mushroom A3 Tree Pie A4 Crazy Murray A5 Another Place A6 Rainbow Man B1 Ethel Tripped A Mean Gloss B2 Valerie Vanillaroma B3 Space & Time B4 The Slug B5 Sunny Day B6 Bonus Track Reissue on psych splatter wax.

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 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FC 09 KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD : Polygondwanaland LP 12.2017 A1 Crumbling Castle A2 Polygondwanaland A3 the Castle in the Air A4 Deserted Dunes Welcome Weary Feet B1 Inner Cell B2 Loyalty B3 Horology B4 Tetrachormacy B5 Searching...
