Exploring Fantasies


Raúl Picaporte



Released 2002 | MAN102

Recorded in Robert Hunter-Rivera's bedroom over a three week period spanning 2001-2002, Exploring Fantasies was in some ways both a departure and a return to form for Raúl Picaporte. He had just criss-crossed the USA with a bastard muse, and had many a song bottled up to show as a result. Distorted riffs, abused woodwinds, metal pots'n'pans, alarm clocks, and cheesy synths adorn this evocative record, oh and Raúl and his guitar too!

Or The Gun


The Moviegoers

Buy Now


Released 2008 | MAN101

Featuring jangly guitars, upfront vocals, thick and spacey harmonies, and smart, soulful song-writing, Or The Gun represents The Moviegoers' most collaborative and complete piece of work to date. It's semi-soft and medium-hard at the same time, if that makes any sense to you. Peksy kids, I tell ya...
