FINN RIGGINS- VS. WILDERNESS
CD - $11.99
Download - $6.99
This is the second full length from the well traveled, frenetic energied Idaho trio Finn Riggins. It includes the track "Wake" which you may have heard during 2011's Super Bowl. Vs. Wilderness is a compositionally complex, dirty, extra-hooky gem of an album. Its bright pop sensibility is filtered through off-kilter time signatures and surprising chord progressions that delight and amuse. Notoriously difficult to pin down in terms of style and influence, Finn Riggins pop/prog/psyschedelic/math music appeals to music lovers of many genres and age groups alike.
The album was recorded, engineered and co-produced in May of 2009 by the band at AudioLab studio, an arm of Garden City, Idaho's Visual Arts Collective (or VAC, a non-profit gallery, venue, theatre and creative space with which Finn Riggins is heavily involved) during one of their rare stints at home. True to form, the album was brought to fruition in this independently run, community-minded environment with the help of co-producer and Tender Loving Empire founder Jared Mees

FINN RIGGINS- A SOLDIER, A SAINT, AND OCEAN EXPLORER
CD - $11.99
Download - $6.99
The debut full length from one of America's hardest working bands. Finn Riggins continues to prove why they've kept rock critics guessing during their 150+ live shows during the past year. A Soldier, A Saint, An Ocean Explorer is no exception, melding synthy, stoney, crunchy and poppy with inventive progressions and uncommon time signatures and downright weird sounds (bugs, toys, binary chanting etc.) From the opening growl of "Glove Comprtmnt" to the final ghostly strains of "A President, A Pacifist, An Auto Restorer", Finn Riggins is burning down the U.S. two ears at a time. Recorded by Bill Forbes, Produced by Jared Mees.

From the travel journal frenetics of Wurlitz and the 70's German prog tendencies of "Mahoney" to the funerary "A Whale, A Fish." Idaho's Finn Riggins shows their mettle and wins our hearts with this, their Tender Loving Empire debut EP.

"Finn Riggins has all the elements that define the future of music. The music is organic (man made) mixed with inorganic (computer generated). It's socially responsible, energetic and dance friendly"
