    FN Records Update #3

    This is a quick one.

    TOMORROW NIGHT AT 7:30PM
    Ghost Mall will be playing a few songs acoustic and getting interviewed on The Edge's Live n' Local radio show. If you live in the Hudson Valley, tune your dial to 88.7FM but if you live in the farther reaches of the state or country, go to wfnp.org and click "Tune In Live!" on the right side.

    If you miss the radio show, we will be releasing the songs we play on Halloween! Right here!

    Also, how is the new layout for the Web site? Is there anything missing or needed? Let me know.

    BB-FNR001 - Ghost Mall - Smiley Art Bootleg 10.17


    Ghost Mall - Smiley Art Bootleg 10.17


    The first entry in our Basement Bootleg series. These recordings come from the most recent show in the basement of the Smiley Art Building on our campus. No cops. Just rock. Seven tracks of Ghost Mall-y goodness. This is pretty rough but listenable. Enjoy.

    FN Records Update #2

    Hello again,
    So we have actually started stuff here at FNR. Moving to Tumblr was a fail. Something about it didn't quite sit right with me.
    As far as actual FNR updates, we have a number of new releases. Here they are:

    Literally Hours away - Ghost Mall - Smiley Art Bootleg


    11/02 - Sunshower Orphans - Polly Ana single (I am so excited for this one. "Polly Ana" is my favorite SO song.)
    11/09 - Wood Burning Stoves - EP

    Other news:
    -Minor Constellations mastermind Dean Engle has started a new band called Quarterbacks.
    -Our friends, Sharks Roar, are recording!
    -Math the Band and Data Dog are playing at Kitty City in New Paltz on 10/24. I want you to go to there.
    -Ghost Mall is actually recording from November 6-8 with DJ Teenwolf. This will be incredible.

    Get psyched,
    Pierce

    FNR003 - Fire to Wood - Upstate Revelry


    Fire to Wood - Upstate Revelry


    Fire to Wood is Mike Godici. He is a ramblin', travelin' man. At this very moment I have no idea where he is but I'm never surprised to hear that he's wandering around this country of ours. His music is for riding across state lines in a kind stranger's car. Travel-worn, cigarette stained front porch acoustic folk songs for loving and living in squalor.

    SS-FNR001 - moon trees - gris/dogjoy


    moon trees - gris/dogjoy


    Synth, samples, and static remind us that when words fail, music explains things unspoken. Moon Trees' first digital single will lull you into an anxious sleep or keep you awake and thinking. The words "beautiful" and "free" now have a soundtrack.

    This is FNR's first release in our digital single series. I couldn't be happier having the inaugural release come from one of my closest friends (and band mate in Ghost Mall), Alex Letourneau.
