Due to a Manufacturing Error

…the release of Molly’s Jungle has been pushed back to July 2010! That’s this month…stay tuned for updates on that. There are still plenty of songs from the album floating around this website, and also the new Foam Castles Peapod page.

Some things about F.C. gathered from the internet these past few months…

Bryan Bruchman posted a profile on his HillyTown blog, which includes photos of the project’s first-ever show at Geno’s on May 13, 2010. The Portland Press Herald also ran brief interview a while back. Portland photographer Jon Donnell took some pictures at a few recent Foam Castles shows — the Honey Clouds record release and the Planets Around the Sun Summer Solstice Boat Party (which featured most of Honey Clouds in the band with Tyler Quist, rather than Brenda and Jay Lobley). The boat party was documented by Bryan Bruchman for Impose Magazine.

The Portland Phoenix reviewed Molly’s Jungle alongside the RattleSnakes‘ excellent new record, Spread for the Wide Eagle.

Finally, we are playing July 27th at SPACE with Old Man Forest and Charles Burst as part of the HillyTown Off Stage series.

music from Headlights

headlights

A year or so ago, Jake Turcotte, Ritu Moondra and I spent a weekend in Boston making some music for Ritu’s thesis film called Headlights. This is a mixed sequence of the music we made for it. I’m not sure that all of it was actually in the movie. The more song-like pieces are either reworked, early or unused versions of Harriers songs (I think).
