As you may or may not know, Thom Fekete has spent a lot of time at home lately. Thom is the guitarist of Surfer Blood, and he was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Thom’s condition has made him unable to tour with Surfer Blood… but it hasn’t stopped him from creating a bedroom pop album, titled “Burner”.
Joyful Noise is releasing “Burner” this week on limited edition cassette and digital.Recorded on a 4-track in Thom’s bedroom in south Florida, “Burner” is lo-fi, intimate, and earnest. The cassettes are limited to 200 hand-numbered copies on light blue cassettes, and include instant MP3 and WAV download. 100% of all money raised will benefit Thom’s cancer treatment.
