A few days ago, I didn’t know a new album was coming out on Label Fantastic! today.
But this had to happen. AMC Gremlin, and more specifically the creator behind the name, Andrew Collins, is not a stranger to LF! We excitedly released his previous project Skeletones Four many years ago. He is an old friend. And a favourite creator. When I found out a couple days ago that this album was coming out today, I asked permission for us to bring it in under our umbrella, to celebrate in the wonderful unexpected and much appreciated surprise that it is.
AMC Gremlin has a special way of creating a timeless warm sound that holds a familiarity that could easily be from an early 2000s homerock tape from a basement in Guelph, for those of us who carry a nostalgia for that. But the reality is it’s all the new songs you were missing, songs that come with a heart-on-sleeve story arch that resonates with the big feelings that come from navigating a difficult world, but also an instrumental soundtrack that can carry you happily on a walk down the block, when you don’t find yourself needing to think to heavily about where you’re going. It can be nice to be met with the music of an old friend – it can be nice to have a whole new album to pour into, while being brought back to some of your favourite feelings that friend has brought before. I’m happy for this surprise and it’s place in our group here at LF! Welcome back Andrew, and welcome AMC Gremlin!

Pink Moth is back! A couple of years ago we were pleasantly surprised by a Pink Moth children’s album dedicated to Ray’s daughter Jessa, but it’s been a decade since Label Fantastic! helped supported Pink Moth with “Eclipsed” and we couldn’t have been more delighted when we discovered this new album was in the works. And it’s finally here! It’s dark and haunting, but with the slick synthy key-hooks we’ve come to look for from Pink Moth. Ray’s ethereal voice shines front and center, bringing us through depths of haunting feelings, invitations to join Pink Moth in the night, out in a stormy ocean, from the horizon to the end of the world. There’s a lot of room for these feelings these days, and Pink Moth has given us a perfect soundtrack. Give it a listen over at Pink Moth’s bandcamp!
In early 2000′s fashioned, LF! has released a burn disc that is the 21-track magic of “Jenny Omnichord’s greatest hits”! She polled the collection of fans who responded on facebook, and put together the list. Don’t agree that they’re her greatest hits? Something missing? Something you don’t want on there? Reach out! She’s handwriting the back covers, and burning the discs, so she can probably make a modified version for you. If you’re a big fan. Let her know how big of a fan you are and we’ll go from there. The CD art is four overlays of the four full-length JO albums. Hold the cover up to the light, it’s like stained glass! Jenny is making the overlays in her basement using a heat press, acetates, and SCIENCE! As homemade as a burned disk can get. Reach out to Jenny to get your copy of Jenny Omnichord’s greatest hits today!
We are so very very pleased to announce that our Label Fantastic! family has expanded to include the Hamilton Ontario art rock brilliance that is Sarah Good and the Bads! It’s exactly as special and weird as you’d expect from us, while also being more and different than everything else, too! And it’s another parent on the roster! The abundance of artists on label fantastic! that are also parents might be unmatched by any other label. It’s a fabulous thing. Don’t snooze on this record! And welcome, Sarah, to Label Fantastic!
Today was a surreal day! It was neat to imagine so many folks all looking at the sky at the same time, with weird little cardboard glasses, whether it was a 98% coverage like it was for us in Guelph, or a total eclipse not so far away. The sky dimmed, birds pause mildly confused, and if you were on my (Jenny)’s front lawn, the soundtrack was 
We are really really excited to get to be a part of this release. Stormpath‘s Rebecca Simpson has been creating magical music for over two decades, but she hasn’t always been easy to find. She was one of Jenny’s first musical heroes, recording the Barmitzvah Brother’s first record way back in the year 2000, and being an integral piece of the music scene that gave that band its first shows. Beginning as a “Mudpuddle”, it truly feels perfect that Rebecca has elevated to a Stormpath. This album is the culmination of nearly two decades of recording. Welcome Stormpath, to Label Fantastic!
