Nice! Haven't listened to any FSOL for ages, this is sounding really good

[smokebelch]

Looks interesting... Is this available now? Can't see a release date...

[Rubin Farr]

Not yet, they usually post on YouTube about a month before release.

[Rubin Farr]

Really looking forward to these, 2 new albums for late summer chillage.

[Nebraska]

listening to vol. 1. i like some of it, and some of it is just incredibly loose arrangements- which i suppose is the psychedelic part promised on the front cover. these guys are obviously drawing inspirations from a very specific time in italian film music.

 

all in all, a pretty solid release. very curious how vol. 2 stacks up

[Rubin Farr]

Liking this a lot, very orchestral.
