Pool's Gold!

Posted on Aug 9th, 2010

All summer Jelly NYC has been throwing their free Pool Parties down at East River Park in Williamsburg. On Sunday, August 22nd we’re proud to present an all-FG takeover, which we’re proudly dubbing Pool’s Gold, because, well, why the hell not?

Get their early to stake your claim in front of the stage for the supa sounds of Chromeo, Kid Sister, The Suzan and Telephoned, with deejay sets by Treasure Fingers and Kingdom keeping it moving all day long. Then we head over to Brooklyn Bowl for an afterparty with Nick Catchdubs and Vin Sol on beat duties. See you there!

The Suzan "Home" Single Out Today!

Posted on Jul 27th, 2010

We’re proud to present the debut Fool’s Gold release from our first band, The Suzan! Starting today you can pick up “Home” (with b-side “Uh Ah”) on iTunes and colored vinyl 7″ single wrapped front to back in psychedelic sleeve art from Dust La Rock. Preview it as RCRD LBL’s “RCRD Of The Day”:

In case you missed their irresistible performances at our CMJ and SXSW showcases, here’s the deal: The Suzan are a boundlessly energetic all-girl band from Japan with a knack for melding jangly, unconventional melodies and keyboard grooves into a sound all their own. Their unique charm and sweetly funky, hard-to-pin-down pop has captivated Bjorn Yttling of Peter, Bjorn and John – who they convinced to be their producer with a MySpace message! – and everyone else they encounter, from The Fader (“Full-on hyperactive bopping around the dancefloor steez.”) to Perez Hilton (“These girls are so adorable… will put a smile on your face!”)

“Home” sets the stage for The Suzan’s full-length LP, Golden Week For The Poco Poco Beat, out this fall on Fool’s Gold / Downtown. It’s effervescent, moody, and (if we humbly say so) one of the best albums of the year! But don’t take our word for it, come check them rocking the free Jelly Pool Party on 8/22 at East River Park in Brooklyn, an all-Fool’s Gold family affair with Chromeo, Kid Sister, Telephoned and more also performing.

Head over to The Fader blog for the premier of The Suzan’s “Home,” produced by Bjorn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John. We’ll be dropping it on a limited-edition 7″ later this spring, and it will also appear on the Suzan’s full-length Fool’s Gold album this summer. “Cool joy” pretty much sums it up!

Our girls The Suzan have been spending the past few weeks as Brooklyn residents getting their rock on around town – between the FG CMJ showcase and various gigs around town (you saw the vids!) it was quite the run! They will be going back to Japan next week, but luckily there’s still two chances left to party with them: tonight at Cake Shop (free show, The Suzan on at 10pm, Bjorn Yttling from Peter Bjorn and John DJing) and tomorrow night at the Living Room (11pm). Don’t miss it…
