The Foundry Field Recordings | 2006 Tour Dates | MP3s

DOWNLOAD: holding the pilot/holding the facts (MP3)

Foundry Field Recordings Missouri’s Foundry Field Recordings are a four-piece that play sweet shoegazing guitar pop that sounds like Grandaddy (a lot) meets Nada Surf meets Flaming Lips at their most normal. These are really good lo-fi songs, featuring lyrics full of sci-fi stuff, like robots, clones, the future, technology etc. [Oh My Rockness]

Jackson first menitoned the Foundry Field Recordings, and I’ve been digging their new album (Prompts/Miscues) too (most of it anyway). Cokemachineglow reviewed it. The MP3 above is from it, plus there’s more at Sonicbids and more MP3s here and even a whole free EP here and a MySpace.

The band is touring as we speak and they’re gonna play 3 NY shows – one in Long Island, one in Brooklyn, and one in Manhattan. The Manhattan one is presented by Crackers United and the L Magazine and also features Cassettes Won’t Listen and Apes & Androids on the bill – @ Sin-e, August 23rd (I hear Jackson might be DJing too).
