Federale - Reverb & Seduction - VINYL LP

Federale - No Justice [VINYL LP] date 11/08/2019

Federale is a seven-piece ensemble based in Portland. Spearheaded by longtime Brian Jonestown Massacre bassist Colin Hegna, the band was conceived as an outlet to channel inspiration from 60s & 70s European soundtracks particularly the Spaghetti Westerns and Giallo genres. The band is known for their cinematic instrumentals as evidenced by their usage in two films by Ana Lily Amirpour including the title track to this album. On this fourth album, they've expanded their vision to narrative songs ala Lee Hazelwood, Nick Cave and Scott Walker. Murder, revenge, regret, power and corruption are the themes that run rampant through this collection. The LP component of this album is pressed on numbered 180 gram Red translucent vinyl and includes a digital donwload card with bounus track featuring David J of Bauhaus and Love & Rockets.

Released in 1968, Federal Duck is the self-titled debut album from this obscure soft-psych band. Federal Duck were a group of college buddies from Haverford, Pennsylvania. Founded by banjo exponent George Stavis, this band only released one album before Stavis went on to record solo for the Vanguard tag. The band played together for almost 4 years under aliases including Stomp Jackson Quintet and The Guides. Another underground gem from one of the many obscure college bands to pop up during the late-60s psychedelic era, re-issued here on shiny heavyweight virgin vinyl in Seville Orange colour.
