Amusement Parks On Fire came to prominence in 2004 with the release of the eponymous debut album, conceived and consummated by the then-adolescent founder Michael Feerick and phonically actualized on a shoestring with Nottingham cohabitant Daniel Knowles. Issued on Geoff Barrow (of Portishead)’s Invada label, it was described by the New Musical Express as ‘hedonistic teenage genius’.
Saint Marie Records
The mix that APoF made comes in two flavors – Spotify and Youtube and features 19 tracks by luminaries (Deerhoof, Blonde Redhead, Broadcast) and new names (Drahla, Pip Blom, Marine Store Dealer) alike. It culminates in a 15-minute track by cult Australian trio The Necks.
