Cassette + Digital Album
Pro-duplicated and printed cassette on warm, autumnal yellow shell that kind of feels like the sun-bleached vinyl bench seat in the back of your Dad's car when you were a kid. Pro-printed J-card with photography that expertly matches the feeling of the music and combines with it to create an inviting, handheld totem or talisman.

We'll ship this as soon as we have them from the plant, which should be in just a week or two! If you want them shipped overseas, reach out with a message and we'll work something out as it has become prohibitively expensive but I get it, I've ordered Ghost Box and Heimat Der Katastrophe stuff recently.

Includes unlimited streaming of All Energy Must Continue Upward via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

Fred Thomas is a lifer. Between his vaunted bands Saturday Looks Good To Me, City Center, his stunning solo albums, and a sideman/producer/engineer/remixer/etc. resume as long as your arm (His Name is Alive, Chain and the Gang, too many more to mention) he's bounced around the DIY music world with seemingly limitless energy and generosity for the past several decades.

All Energy Must Continue Upward's self-titled full length is a collection of new synthesizer-centric music for Good Glass Records. A flurry of whirring analogs, tape echo, pulsating bass and beat programming, it's a prismatic pause tape that navigates so many zones and styles - funky seventies library music, tranced-out new age, skittering late-night braindance, deep space pulsar mapping, nostalgic childlike PBS themes, even euphoric drum-n-bass (wait for it!) - that it might be overwhelming if not for Fred's deft sequencing, blending, fading, and selecting that invites the listener along on the journey like an expert DJ mix.

We hail Fred as a longtime fellow traveler and compatriot of the American Underground and are ecstatic to present this new project.
