Fruits De Mer

About Me

The ideal - to release vinyl singles of music that floats our collective trawler. This will almost undoubtedly be sixties psych, acid-folk, folk-folk, loner-folk, kraut and the odd bit of prog thrown in when Jonesy gets his way. We then get contemporary musicians to re-interpret them there songs with the odd legend such as Alison O'Donnell and Mark Fry thrown in to the mix.
This label is an indulgence by Keith Jones and Andy Bracken, but there are times when you simply do a thing because it's right and proper.
COMING SOON (est. June 2009) - Haruko "Wild Geese" vinyl LP, limited copies of the most beautiful album you've ever heard. A Bracken Records presentation - email us via the webaite above, or message us to reserve.
