Foot Village - Friendship Nation

"Of all the weird scum-hunch folk ensembles I've heard over the last few years, Foot Village may be the most chaotic…created and staffed by members of some LA underground heavies, this is a rather masterful effort, even when things are a little more controlled.” Byron Coley – WIRE “…percussion, played as if teasing a knot of wool into freedom – a combination of rhythmic histrionics and cataracts of chafing abandon…Yes, I have a feeling this "Foot Village" is going to be huge. 10/10 " Andrew Zukerman - FOXY DIGITALIS. All welcome to Foot Village. No-electricity hardcore. No jamming. No drum circles.  Featuring Brian Miller & Grace Lee of of Gang Wizard (Load/Ecstatic Peace) and Josh Taylor of Friends Forever (Load). Foot Village is the first nation built after the apocalypse. Foot Village have a duty to rebuild the world, a new nation out of the ruins of civilization atop the ruins of Hell, after the oceans have all evaporated. All we know so far is revealed on their first album ‘World Fantasy’ (Not Not Fun) a collection of songs about other countries. Now Foot Village have created their own country and the songs on ‘Friendship Nation’ (Recorded by Jonathan Snipes of Captain Ahab & mastered by Pete Swanson of Yellow Swans) are reports on what life in Foot Village is like. This album features four incredible, additional remixes by fellow cosmologists: Tussle, BIG A little a, Silver Daggers & Robedoor.  Pitchfork Media are currently raving about Foot Village on ‘Forkcast’ with an exclusive feature and mp3 download of  ‘Protective Nourishment’ a track taken from Friendship Nation.Foot Village play SXSW at the ‘Deathbomb Arc / Cock Rock Disco’ showcase in March (alongside Otto Von Schirach, Captain Ahab, Friends Forever, Kevin Shields, Jason Forrest & Nero's Day At Disneyland) and tour the entire USA in May 2008.
