New Burnouts Out Now!
Out now is the new Real Burnouts record entitled “Dispirited Evidence of the Unconscious”. You can download it for a mere $5 at the Burnouts’ Bandcamp page here.
Don’t let this one pass you by, kiddies. It’s one of the most well-produced and painfully honest Burnouts records ever, which is already saying a lot. Get on over to the Bandcamp page, or you can just scroll down and listen/order right here!
The Fig Mints Are At It Again…
It’s been so long that we almost forgot we even existed! Well not really, but memories are short nowadays.
So after two years of reclusive introspection and countless reworkings of the new record, Bobby of the Fig Mints has finally pulled the trigger. I know that we at the Cozy Home are naturally biased to our own artists, but shit. This sucker is good! Say Okay is now out and ready for mass consumption at thefigmints.com. No reason to be shy, kids. Buy direct, or you can stream the whole thing for free and buy a download for $5 at thefigmints.bandcamp.com. Add $2 for shipping and send an email with your address to get the CD in the mail straight from the man himself! Or you could go to our artists section and find what you’re looking for, as well as a ton of music for free download. So you’ve got options. Choose wisely. Or choose them all, who’s counting??? Here’s a recent review of Say Okay:
“Perhaps I’m deaf, but why this wasn’t released as a spoken word album, I will never know. That is to say that embedded in these songs are deeper meanings that are cleverly disguised as hooky melodies, both lyrically and musically. They both hit you simultaneously, so at times you might only notice one or the other, but it’s criminal not to review what you’ve missed either way. It demands several listens, with lyrics included to fully obtain. There’s only a certain depth that musicians and artists can get to anyways, but only a few people actually take the effort dig to that depth, and fig mints is one of them. Except with them, its effortless.”

Also available for free streaming at cllct is the other new record, Songs For My Friends and Those Girls. This one’s totally free, ladies and germs, so get yourself a download and try it on for size. Get it at thefigmints.com or in our downloads section. Hey, if it doesn’t fit you can always take it back!
And if that wasn’t enough, there is a new video from Zombek Films that features music from Bobby of the Fig Mints, as well as the enigmatic Paul Burnout of the Real Burnouts. Bobby even does a cameo in the film, so check below to see the real deal.
