Art Fin I'm a big fan of all 4 great bands on this split 12"/CD/cassette on Slumberland/Fortuna Pop. Glad to hear new songs from them all but sad to hear that Fortuna Pop is shutting down. Favorite track: Wildhoney - Horror Movie.

Jesse Bought this craving more Mercury Girls, but love nearly every track. Favorite track: Mercury Girls - Holly.

about

Slumberland Records Oakland, California

Slumberland began operations in 1989, inspired by such musical happenings as the UK post-punk indie label scene, lower east side noise bands and the DIY international pop underground. Since then we've covered a lot of territory, from punk to lofi noise to shoegaze and of course pop, releasing records from bands like The Aislers Set, Stereolab, Rocketship, Lorelei, The Ropers and Black Tambourine. ... more

Foxhole
by The Proper Ornaments

supported by 17 fans who also own “Continental Drift”

The overall sound of this album is rich and clean. It would be nice if Pink Floyd's Fat Old Sun had been so well recorded and mixed. "I Know You Know" is a real gem and my current favorite. Foxhole is a solid, mellow, guitar driven album full of tracks that share DNA with likes of The Clientele, The Kinks, The Beta Band, and of course Pink Floyd. Very enjoyable. chri777
