Family Underground

Archival album of deep, shimmering cuts from the long-standing Copenhagen group Family Underground.

Family Underground was formed in 2000 by Nicolas ›Brother Jinx‹ Kauffmann on guitars and tapes, Jesper ›Byronic‹ Hedegård on warpspeed wah-wah and staccato guitar and Sara ›Sonic‹ Czerny on synthesizer, bass, vox and drums. When they got to 2003 Family Underground had found their form in frayed and torn songs made up on the spot and psychedelic drone music, all recorded on their old Movicorder, a Danish made reel-to-reel, all tube and mixed directly to a CDr-recorder, recording almost everything as well as heating the room while the band played.

»Milk of Wonder« was recorded at a freezing loft in an old Methodist church at Møllegade in Copenhagen, Family Underground's first rehearsal place - a Factory style arrangement for almost nothing.

The last grooves of side A is one of the jams, Family Underground did with Fursaxa in New York City on their first tour together in the US in 2006.

»Cosmic Skullduggery« was originally made to be released by Eclipse Records but it didn´t materialize, first time this has been out for release.

The rest of the tracks were recorded at Waffle Cone Country, in an old industrial building which was the FU studio and home for Nicolas and Sara, and reflects the long nights and early mornings playing music, smoking, drinking tea and coffee - a classical ›Triple Cool Hang‹ situation.
