Coming into sight for the month of March, we see the return of Brant Duncan’s Carolina musical troop, known as The Haunted Head. Their latest production, a song titled “Come Home” surely encompasses everything you’ve come to know and appreciate about the band’s somber side.

Also seeing light today for the first time in over twenty years, is a collection of four-track recordings by Duncan’s former associates, Unabnormal, a 90s-era Clemson/Athens band fronted by Georgolina’s own concierge of portastudio saturation, Thom Strickland, who claims that the cassette tape was just recently re-discovered, under his bed.

The collection is called Diving Bell/Wishing Well, and along with a growing assortment of other titles, is out now, courtesy of Strickland’s “Brown Paper” record label, that isn’t.

“Hatch’s first official solo effort, titled “Place Without A Name” showcases a range of different styles and features the piano-wizardry of Mark Plemmons among several other musical guests. The album is set to be an enjoyable experience for the listener.” –Plez Jay

Then, Hatch surprised everyone with an immediate follow up, titled “Home” and it’s packed with supreme musical guests Annie Leeth, Casey Trivett and Stephen Britt, featuring artwork by Michelle Kaiser.

Garett Hatch’s “Home” is due out Oct 20th, stream and share the album via bandcamp:

In other GF news, today marks the official release of The Humms‘ long-awaited sophomore album, titled “Vampire Hours”.

This new record comes a little later than a full decade from their 2010 international debut, “Lemonland”, released on Bachelor Records and Odd Box.

“Grim motor-psycho music that goes from growling Steppenwolf jams to delightfully strange jazz/krautrock diversions.”

— Joseph Keyes, Bandcamp (New & Notable)

“Starting out with a suggestion of Merseybeat and then destabilizing the relation as it goes along, but keeping the movement of the harmony coherent.”


— Kevin Dunn (co-producer; The B-52s, Pylon)

“There are easygoing folk-rock elements mingling with what sound like diffusions from desert ghost-town saloon shadow figures engaged in a séance.”


— Stomp & Stammer magazine

Almost one year since the release of Uncle Goo’s debut album Country Strange, VOL 1 we are now excited to announce the premiere of his second album titled “Cattywampus!!!”.

Recording commenced earlier this year directly after the release of Country Strange and carried on through the summer.

Two singles were leaked prior to this official release: “This Heat” b/w “When I Die (Bury Me at the Waffle House)“.

Both singles were welcomed with open arms by the community far and wide thanks in part to heavy rotation by local DJ “Porkchop” on 92.1 WLHR via “The Breakfast with Porkchop Show”

“While the first record was soaked knee-deep with an ‘outlaw’ country-sound,  Goo stressed that he wanted to go more into a ‘southern-country-rock” vibe on this effort and what we got is ‘Cattywampus!!!” – WJAY (GF correspondent)

Uncle Goo and his band (The Country Dragons) will be performing one-night-only in Hartwell, GA at RACK’S Lakeside Bar & Grill (formally Swamp Guinea) to celebrate the release.  The show is free and will begin at 8pm.

PREMIERE: “Trembling Rose” by The Haunted Head

“Conway Twitty came to me in a dream about 15 years ago and gave me this song” is how Pendleton, South Carolina’s Brant Duncan puts it – referring to his most recent recording at GF studio.

Brant first caught the attention of GFR with his previous band The Elegance (2008) before joining Carolina punk rockers Pine Tar Rage who had recently signed to Gypsy Farm Records.

“Trembling Rose” is Duncan’s first new material in years under the pseudonym “The Haunted Head” and we hear a familiar voice that any fan of The Elegance will find fits right in woven between blankets of Supro-FUZZ with piano and drums accompaniment.

Uncle Goo’s new song “Mallory”

Just barely one month after releasing the local break-up anthem “I’m Tired” ordained captain of country strange Uncle Goo continues his momentum with the unveiling of an additional tune titled “Mallory” off of his upcoming 2019 EP.

“Right from the beginning ‘Mallory’ conveys a sense of waking up alone for a days work while the mind stays half-detached from reality and occupied on fonder moments as a thick fog of steel guitar weaves a hopeful outlook” – WJAY

Stay tuned for the release of other fine concoctions on all streaming platforms via Gypsy Farm Records in 2019.
