New: The Unconquerable Sun - "First Love."






10/23/11: Jason Fresh and The Elysium Fold - "Mouths Full of God" This is a completely spontaneous song Jason and I recorded one time when I was playing those two major seventh chords from Erik Satie's "Gynopedie No. 1." I like our version better. Anyone who writes, "I wish that I could put my rod in God" is a first-class poet in my book.

NEW: "Painted Green in the Fabric of Night" Full Album

The newest album by Jason Fresh and The Elysium Fold has dropped. It's called "Painted Green in the Fabric of Night." It's free like the rest of them. It was recorded using real (ie - overpriced) microphones. We love it.

Go to the media page to download it for free.
New: The Unconquerable Sun - "When You Smile At Me." This is a happy pagan love song that is true. The lyrics are available like always on YouTube and the Unconquerable Sun's website






10/02/11: The Elysium Fold - "You Were Mine." This is one of the last songs Jason and I recorded before everything collapsed and we stopped playing music together. Probably there will be a better recording eventually.

New: The Unconquerable Sun - "Roses From Safeway." This is an old song written a long time ago when my songwriting was even worse than it is now. But it's kind of funny I think. The lyrics are available on YouTube and the Unconquerable Sun's website






10/01/11: "The Utopian Bridge to Jonestown, Guyana" Full Album

This is the second album The Elysium Fold made. The songs are among those written by Jason Fresh as part of his plan to write one new song every week for one year starting in January of 2010. This album is absurd, uneven, completely over-the-top, and also good. You can listen to it and download it for free. Oh yeah, I lost the original album art so I made a new cover in MS Paint just now.
New: The Unconquerable Sun, errors and all. This song is called Mia Hamm #1 and it's about having dreams. The lyrics are available on YouTube and the Unconquerable Sun's website






09/26/11: "The Topaz Lounge" Full Album

This is the first Elysium Fold album, from back when The Elysium Fold was called The Fold. It was recorded over a 28-hour period in my living room on Christmas when everyone was gone. We played real honest. You can listen to it and download it for free.
New The Unconquerable Sun, the other 50% of the label.






12/30/10 - Happy New Year: In honor of the time of year when we celebrate the successful passing-through of another year of the Gregorian calendar (thanks for nothing, ancient Mayans), Seagull City Records proudly presents "Too Bad So Sad," the first smash hit from the upcoming album of [The Project Tentatively Titled] The Elysium Fold. "Here is a piece written in the wake of a life catastrophe," says the artist. This is a song so steeped in tragedy it has made grown-ass men and women weep like infants. Aristotle would approve. Well, maybe CB was right - sometimes it just makes sense.






12/23/10 - Busy Holidays: One Seagull City has been in disarray these past few weeks, not unlike the personal lives of the Seagull City Records staff, but all is well again (at least with the studio, anyway) and we're back in business! That means you can expect some delightful sound recordings very soon. Keep an eye on the website for names and dates.




11/27/10 - Seagull City Records is online! The official Seagull City Records website is up and running. Well, up and walking briskly, perhaps; there's no real "content" of which to speak, what with our being very busy making sound recordings. What do you think I am, some kind of web designer? In any case, we have decided to outsource our non-musical merchanidising to Cafe Press, and some of that stuff is available now. Be sure to check out the Seagull City store and pick up a trendy, well-designed t-shirt before you leave! They're quite comfy (I ordered several of the standard white variety as president of the American Society of Ewan Bremner Look-a-Likes - an original design, naturally - which has since disbanded for legal reasons.)




9/9/10 - Seagull City Records is born: Seagull City Records is a business entity which specializes in the production of sound recordings. Our goal is to enable talented artists to record a body of original compositions of which they maintain full ownership at all times. It is in no way affiliated with any Postal Service cover bands.
