KUT listed off their top 10 favorites of 2007, and yes, Future Clouds and Radar made the cut. They're right alongside superstars Radiohead and Amy Winehouse. KUT is another radio entity who has shown a tremendous amount of support for FC&R. I'd like to give them a resounding "thank you" for all that they've done for the band.
I just wanted to let you guys know that 107.1 KGSR has just released their 15th anniversary "Broadcasts" compilation CD with a live recording of FC&R's "Build Havana." KGSR has given Future Clouds a huge amount of support over that past year. A big thanks goes out to them.
Harp Magazine names Future Clouds and Radar "New Artist of the Year"
We're all pretty stoked about this one. The Dec issue hits stands pretty soon. Pick up a copy, and check it out for yourself. What a way to end the year!
In case some of you missed them, I thought I'd post a couple of the other reviews FC&R has received over the past few months.
Enjoy, Aaron

"27 songs strong, Ryan Adams, Sufjan Stevens, and even Peter Frampton should be so lucky. Grade A" Fort Worth Star Telegram

"A glorious mess of sunshine... the year's most memorable debut!" wolfnote
Future Clouds and Radar, the eclectic musical collective who list their home address as a "psychedelic compound in the hill country of Texas," have just been named Harp Magazine's debut artist of the year. Harp also named FC&R's 2 disc debut the 4th Best Overall Release of 2007 behind Okervill River, Band of Horses and Iron and Wine. The timing of Harp's announcement could not be better for Future Clouds and Radar who have just launched their new label website, starapplekingdom.com., which offers a unique look into the FC&R''s curious nether-world via regularly updated film, live performances and exclusive interview footage.
