News: BAL Announce Debut LP ‘Seafoam’ Out 11/18

Earlier this year we warmly welcomed a new band to our Furhoof family and introduced you all to BAL (pronounced like “pal” with a B) – the new project from longtime bandmates, Jack Foster (House of Fools, Sarah Shook & the Disarmers) and Jordan Powers (Far-Less, House of Fools). In early 2020 the pair decided it was time to look to the stars for newfound inspiration and blasted off, drawing from a love of all things sci-fi, as well as a shared affinity for ‘90s Alt/Indie and Heavy Rock music. The result is ‘Seafoam’ – a grungy cosmic blend of science fiction and rock & roll. The singles “Seafoam,” “Hyperdrive,” and “‘95” have definitely taken us into another world.

‘Seafoam’ tells a fresh story in high fidelity. The saturated guitars (a la Silverchair, Failure, or Local H) rarely clean up, while hyper-driving, pocketed drums offer contrast to a generally subdued vocal (think Grandaddy). Recorded by BAL and friends, and mixed by longtime co-pilot Brandon Hackler, ‘Seafoam’ will be available November 18th 2022 digitally and on limited edition cassette tape. The artwork was beautifully created by Josh Brockett specifically for this story/album/music/world.

For those wanting to take a deeper dive into the world that BAL’s ‘Seafoam’ creates, Jordan Powers wrote a short-story called “Zero Andy One” which will be available as an individual 20-page 5.5”x8.5” zine.

For the deep spaceheads, we’ve also handmade a special edition ‘Seafoam’ with alternate art by Ryan McCardle in a mini-VHS-style trimpack with mini-zine version of “Zero Andy One” only limited to 20 pieces.

Pre-Order any or all over at the Furhoof Bandcamp.
