Andrew Cedermark / Family Portrait - Split

Split by Andrew Cedermark / Family Portrait

4...according to our on Thu 24 Jun, 2010.

This Underwater People's Records label seems to release a lot of Real Estate affiliated records. There's more than likely a great reason for this but I'm not gonna delve. I like the mystery and so should you! Andrew Cedermark used to be in Titus Andronicus and his 2 tracks on this ace little split 7" are pure psychedelic pop bursting with melody. It's very slackerish and lazy sounding with 'Hard Livin' being my track of choice with it's clicky drumstick business and ace vocal melodies. It's the business. The flipside is by Family Portrait with help from Real Estate folks and Julian Lunch (as it says in the press release by I reckon that's Julian Lynch). 'Super Cool' is more hazy psyche pop with loadsa phased guitars over a driving beat making you feel all spaced out. It's a cool single!

A new split 7-inch from ANDREW CEDERMARK (ex-TITUS ANDRONICUS) and FAMILY PORTRAIT. Despite being two very different artists, both bands emit towers of sound and giant walls of melodic noise, making this pairing a diverse yet cohesive record. The recordings also feature friends and fellow musicians MARTIN COURTNEY (REAL ESTATE) and JULIAN LUNCH.

this split is awesome! but i think you got some of your facts wrong. I dont believe there's any Real Estate showing on either side, only Julian Lynch on clarinet in super cool. also julian isnt Ducktails, matt mondanile (of real estate) is.
