Info

With “A Rare Caged Fern” our good friends in Rearranged Face and ambassadors to House of Tomothy and the Los Angeles DIY experience translate the energy, stomp, craze, and brouhaha typical of their live shows to tape. This was an absolute joy to record. For our first 12” here at Tomothy Records, across seven tracks, Rearranged Face weave us through a non-stop party of vocal yelps and whispers, looney tunes guitars, synth bumps, spooky samples, and caveman drumming. Yeah SICH FUN!

True-to-form at House of Tomothy, this record was recorded on ½ inch tape on our OTARI MX-5050 III 8-track tape machine over the course of one weekend and mixed down to ¼ inch tape on our OTARI MTR-10, 2 CHANNEL reel-to-reel deck by Timothy in January 2021.

Mastered tape-to-disk by Kevin Gray at Cohearent and pressed at Erika Records Inc. Artwork by Rearranged Face, risograph prints by Never Press, and handmade bootleg style packaging finished off by us and the band.

Committed and consistent with our goal at TOMOTHY RECORDS to highlight the best LA has to offer and embrace all things analog, no short cuts were taken and no computers were used in the creation of this record. Let’s hang in-person!
