P&R 002 / CD

Release date: 2008

Indie rock after the post punk years and before the mainstream got involved. Daniel Mckenzie (vocals/guitar), Jon Fee (bass/vocals), Jake Krohn (drums), and (at times) Jonny Latimer sprinkling some additional guitar. This is output from the four when they are not busy with The Rum Diary, Mijuanito, Built for the Sea, The Action Design, and The Aimless Never Miss. Self recorded and mixed with Pall Jenkins at SDRL. Each song represents its own symbiotic dance between soaring guitars, melodic bass lines, heavy drums, and catchy hypnotic vocals. A must have for all! Packaged in a hand-stamped eco sleeve with lyrics and insert. 

For fans of: Road trips, watching the sunrise and sunset, Guinness Draught, documentaries, dive bars, and camping.    

Tracks: CRF 030608, Tomorrow’s Five Horizons, Fields Landing, Latin Metrics, Slow Ravens, Through Dunes

The Rum Diary

We're Afraid of Heights Tonight

CD

Release date: 2006  

"The album that was not there". Dreamy, lush, pulsing, moody, and rocking. The old boys  poured every ounce of heart and soul they had into this one. And took a helping hand from Pall Jenkins (Blackheart Procession) and Tim Mooney (American Music Club). This is technically a Devil in the Woods release with a plastic jewel case.   

"...you should go to your local independent record store and buy it."
- Transworld Surf

For fans of: Experimental indie pop drone and classic casual noise rock

The Rum Diary

Poisons That Save Lives

CD

Release date: 2003   

Critically acclaimed, yet out of print? Not no more. This is technically a Substandard release. 100 copies were recently discovered behind Schuyler's extensive collection of styrofoam take-out boxes. Unfortunately it's packaged in a plastic jewel case, but no use crying over spilt milk. Besides, The Rum Diary were the first to tour in a natural gas powered vehicle. What a bunch of visionaries. Also available in yellow gold vinyl!

"...this is at heart a group playing very strong, impressionist pop music with an emphasis on hypnotic guitar riffs and forlorn melodies"
- Rolling Stone

"Both bands sound at the top of their game here and, as much as I didn't want to like it, the switching off track after track does keep things fresh."

- In Music We Trust

"These are 5 finely crafter pieces of music and make for one of the best Ep's to come out in 2002."

I heart Parks and Records and want to make a donation to the little green label that could!

Please note: Technically we are not a non-profit organization even though we barely break even on our releases, we give a percentage of sales to non-profits, and we are trying to save the planet. Maybe we should just apply for a 501 c3? Anyway, don't let that stop you from supporting your favorite socially responsible indie label. You can send us a little dough and we will bake it into another great release!
