Happy New Year!

These twelve months were our most productive ever (or at least since, like, 1998). From iot's third and final album Love Songs, to the eight-gazillion releases from Long Hair, we never quit providing you with sonic painkillers to help you through these troubling economic times.

Now, we're closing out this bitch of a decade by presenting West, the first new recordings from Viraeson in over eight years. Download here. The accompanying film is in the works...

Upcoming releases: the big, big, big, huge box set from legendary noise-geeks Alfred Bizarro To Be Exactly... the somewhat smaller but no less mind-blowing box set covering Viraeson's 1998-2002 era... and more.

Not sure where to start? Try north-without-end (quiet stuff), Long Hair (weird and stoopid psychedelic prog-rock stuff), or A Very Clever Robot (robotic stuff).


ABOUT
Forty-Seven Records was founded in 1996 by a lonely college sophomore. While the label's first official release was cassette-only, the next 20 or so releases were freely distributed on CD-R (meaning "given away"). FSR artists lean towards the lo-fi and experimental. Since 2003 the label has offered all releases as free high-quality MP3 downloads. Clearly, FSR anticipated the downfall of the old label industry model.
