"Viewing the Feral Children spectacle is a truly singular experience; emotional bellowing from the bottoms of a psychedelic vortex. Creating detailed lysergic textures on the fly with the usage of a looping pedal and sampler whilst strumming his uniquely tuned, de-strung guitar. This album got heavy play while I was finishing my thesis, putting out a record, and working full-time. I managed to avoid dropping acid but the album was a certified trip each time I took a break from hell to listen. Highly recommended. A top release from 2008." - WEIRDCANADA.COM

"Feral Children is the 2009 electronic Tim Buckley; a forward-thinking, genre-hybridization of trends existing in the ethers of our musical consciousness. Where Tim Buckley channeled jazz, folk, and psychedelia to produce “emotional bellowing from the depths of a drug vortex” (dr. lloyd - waxidermy), Feral Children interpolates the fluxes of psychedelic-pop brewing on the borders of electronic music. His new songs are poppier, thicker, and voluminous; yet they conjure the same looping-pedal+drum-machine pop-lysergia present on his first album - now with more low-end, more psych, and more dance. It’s a welcomed progression we rarely see on sophomore albums. A+++++++, fast shipping, will listen again." - WEIRDCANADA.COM
overdosing on influence, recklessly creating bothering the neighbours but still hidden as if embarassed but totally proud and alone. it has transformed since then into sparkling remedies, spirit dedications, dark thoughts, endless vacations, swaying heads, plans to the moon and psychedelic love notes. FC launches listeneres into space.
experimental artist Feral Children from Saskatoon, Sk makes music that contains elements of psychedelia, noise, d.i.y. electronica and old pop characterized by its tendency to use loops made up of psychedelic guitar and bass riffs, fat beats, field recordings, reverb-soaked vocals, overdriven tubes and prepared samples.
look basically its weird and emotional psychedelia. i like to sing about girls and play around with trippy sounds.booking/contact : emperor_hecliffe@hotmail.com, feral_children@hotmail.com
Dude. Currents is so rad. I just reviewed it on my blog. I was trying to think of useful comparisons and I had a sudden revelation that you are the 2009 Tim Buckley (circa Lorca). In my books, that's a high compliment.
