Holiday Swag

The Musical Family Tree holiday package offers 6 amazing CDs from some of the best Indiana bands around. For a donation of just $30 (postage included) you will receive brand new MFT Records releases from Gentleman Caller, The Mysteries of Life, Everything Now!, Action Strasse, Pravada, as well as the Defunct Indiana compilation – in addition to 5 MFT stickers and 5 buttons! Shipping to the lower 48 states is paid!


Here is a short description of each album:

“Gentleman Caller Vs. The Elephant” picks up where Until We Are Missing (Affirmation Records, 2006) left off – the songs are inhabited with ghosts, haunted bodies (both water and human), past loves and a sense of hope that refuses to be stifled.



Everything, Now! “Spatially Severed” - Some call it "space gospel." Others say "artichoke rock." One thing is for sure, in their sixth year, and on their fifth album, Everything, Now! is on top of their game. On "Spatially Severed", E,N! brings their delirious mixture of insane psych-pop melody, hero worship, and obtuse hidden meanings into their most accessible form. These 16 parables are disguised as commercialized space-age pop gems for the ADD generation.

Indianapolis-based Pravada has been creating their unique stream of atmospheric pop for four years now, and after many delays we are lucky enough to see their near perfect debut album "Manus Plere" become a physical reality.



The Mysteries of Life home recordings in 2007. Limited to only 500 copies. Get them while you can.





Action Strasse “American Gas Jive”: Recorded and mixed in 5 days, by the late, great LonPaul Ellrich, this album is a tribute to the golden age of the rock album. Songs about girls, petrol, and how religion and war are destroying humanity, all fit annoyingly well together in these troubling times.



The Defunct Indiana Compilation contains seventeen indie, experimental, and hardcore artists from Indiana's past. This is some of the best music from all Indiana based, now-defunct bands.




Here doggy!

I'm all for MFT and the artists both making some money whether it's NP or not. I'm glad there is another way of getting us out there. If I would have sold an album in the 80s, I remember most little labels and artists would be happy to sell their t…

PJ- I thought of that too! I could use a new Ping hat. We aren't too far down the road of the NP thing to turn back. But John is right, if we can find a way to funnel money to artists then I'm all about having MFT make some of that transaction. It…

I tried to watch 100 Ways but I could feel my life force draining. Haven't the Japanese made some horror films about this video?
