Prompts / Miscues
Album Description
After three years of meticulously collecting binaural recordings and conducting visceral field experiments, the band once known as Billy Schuh And The Foundary emerges with their first full-length as the newly named Foundry Field Recordings. An album fluid with picturesque places and serrated emotions. An authentic cognitive snapshot of a forgotten memory recalled via music alone. Lovely shoe-gaze pop, resonating with strategic feedback and dance-worthy hooks.


Oh goodness, The Foundry Field Recordings, how do you even begin to describe how remarkably delicious they are?
Prompt/Miscues starts off with a recording of what sounds like a submarine transmission and breaks into a gentle piano riff that builds slowly into an three minute long jam session followed by the melodic choruses of Battle Brigades II that is reminisce of something off a Sparklehorse album. Over the course of the album, you get part fairytale, part Built to Spill before they went off the rails, part charm, part songwriting brilliance, part technotronics – every song on the album falls together like a well-read History book complete with Billy Schuh’s lilt singing about the Russian Revolution, Warning Raids over Kiev and other weird rustic war stories.
Make this an album you buy today, even if it’s already three years on and they’re still touring with terrible bands like Aqueduct. This will be one of the most charming first records you will ever own.

This is actually my favorite album of the FFR. They are amazing and worth at least checking out!
