sonic syrup pocket symphony productions
Like so many people these days, we 've started our own blog. If you visit http://sonicsyrup.blogspot.com you'll find frequent updates with links to the latest blissed out fuzz we've discovered, as well as a chance to download some shoegazing rarities, including unreleased demos from the Sonic Syrup archive.
While we've threatened to release something new, our last release was almost 5 years ago. Many changes have occurred since then, in our own lives and with sound recording. Releasing music with a physical format has been replaced by the digital file. We are embracing this change and are seeking artist who want to use this format and the Sonic Syrup platform to project their aural bliss upon eager listeners. Drop us a line to learn more...
