FAIRYPORT CONVENT - "Universes" (EP, The Swamp Records, 2025).

Hello there from the Fairyport Convent and welcome to 2025!

We've been busy working on this new EP, "Universes", which will probably be our last before a longer break.

The creative juices at Via Kosmische started flowing in more abstract/free-improv/noise/experimental/synth direction, and that is definitely not what our fans like to hear.

Of course, Adam has always been making a variety of music ("genres", a word he hates so much), and so, he will release it under other names/bands/projects.

We had a hard time deciding to release "Universes", as it features more synthesizers, drum machines, and abstract noise. "Universes" was originally part of the A.J. Kaufmann "Planet Goloka" album, but it was later decided that "Goloka" would remain strictly loner-folk, acoustic with FX.

And so, the latest FC EP was born.

We will be back when Adam feels more like doing rock songs, and maybe even writing some lyrics again instead of improvising them which was more of the usual starting 2021/2022.

In the meantime, there will be some rock on Herby Records in 2025. Justin wants to release Adam's "Herbapolis" EP on 10" vinyl. 'Herbapolis" is currently half-ready. We need 2-3 more songs, with the title track being a 9-minute+ mammoth.

We will keep you posted on this, and also on new Fairyport Convent music for The Swamp Records of course.

Fly on, be blessed!
