Casino Gardens // Fantasies In Cools Palace One of the most criminally underrated tapes of 2011 was the self-titled debut of a certain Casino Gardens . Now hot on the heels of the new year, this Ohio native brings us his second release curiously but quite aptly titled Fantasies In Cools Palace . If you enjoyed the feeling that his first tape conjured of being in a room at a beach-side resort circa 1989 with a busted air conditioner, then you’re gonna love Fantasies In Cools Palace . Album single, [...]

Columbus, Ohio's Byron Ferrari (not his real name, but I dig it) has been haunting us with his Casino Gardens for a good while now, last year delivering a massively compelling tape on Beer On The Rug . This time it gets even better with Fantasies in Cools Palace , Casino Gardens' new cassette on Chicago imprint Lillerne , a superb effort that neatly combines everything we ever loved about "hypnagogic pop" - straight, untainted AM radio pop, sun-bleached late summer afternoon slacker anthems that showcase quite an amazing amount of true musical talent (albeit [...]

Skeechie Skeechy Bryan of Casino Gardens , Dolphin Tears , etc., and Colin of World Series has teamed up with Roberto Clemente Rookie Card to bring us a set of corrugated collectibles under the name, Rollerblade .

You can find the digital version out now on Bandcamp but expect the CD-R [...]

The second release from our internet bro Gaurav's Beer On The Rug imprint is also from Bryan Ferrari (of Casino Gardens) and this stuff is still arcade obsessed and Ducktailsian though certainly rougher textured and way woozier on the Grippers/Ferraro influence. Preview the album via this soundcloud or video below and pick up the tape (there are only 75) over here .

Our pals from down under at Rose Quartz kindly reminded us this morning that we wanted to prepare a little piece about Casino Gardens , the project of Columbus, Ohio native Byron Ferrari who we had introduced to our esteemed readership back in November (hence last century in internet time) when he was still recording under his Young Heat moniker. Anyway, a few weeks ago he sent over a few new tracks and announced his name change, along with the notification of a forthcoming release sometime soon. So, that particular thing has arrived [...]

MP3: Casino Gardens - Casino Gardens MP3: Casino Gardens - Finding You in the Plaza Excited by these new homey vignettes from Kansas' Casino Gardens, definitely on that Sunday afternoon in the sunroom kick with noodly guitar lines and simple melodies that glow through all the delicate tape crackle. Nice mix of Rangers and Ducktailsian pop for sure. Grip the first Casino Gardens digital release now through new imprint Beer on the Rug (real apt!) and pay a few bucks to get 6 additional jams. Cassette pre-orders will be available [...]
