As you may have heard (if you are a keen FBI Radio listener), there's a handmade Local Fidelity CDR doing the rounds. All the songs have been kindly donated by the artists and all proceeds go to help keeping FBI 94.5FM on air.
It's also currently Album of The Week at the moment, which is staggering and really wonderful for a small-scale DIY effort that I organised mostly from my dinky room.
The set list includes a new song by SUI ZHEN, a hard-to-get track by Garage2V finalists CLUBFEET (currently at work on a Yeasayer remix), an unreleased remix of THE DESKS and a new song by THE MOTIFS. You'll also get a sneak peek of upcoming albums by SHADY LANE, WILLIAMS BREAK, JANE WOODY & ANGEL EYES. Plus, a whole bunch of bands you're about to get a musical crush on: DRAGGING PIANOS from Townsville, VOLTAIRE TWINS from Perth, SHIVER LIKE TIMBER from Tamsworth and more.
