$10.00 CD - Release date: 2006 (Devil in the Woods)
"The album that was not there". Dreamy, lush, pulsing, moody, and rocking. The old boys poured every ounce of heart and soul they had into this one. And took a helping hand from Pall Jenkins (Blackheart Procession) and Tim Mooney (American Music Club). This is technically a Devil in the Woods release with a plastic jewel case. Pure experimental indie pop drone and classic casual noise rock.
"...you should go to your local independent record store and buy it."

$10.00 CD - Release date: 2003 (Substandard Records)
Critically acclaimed, yet out of print? Not no more. 100 copies were recently discovered behind Schuyler's extensive collection of styrofoam take-out boxes. Unfortunately it's packaged in a plastic jewel case, but no use crying over spilt milk. Besides, The Rum Diary were the first to tour in a natural gas powered vehicle. What a bunch of visionaries. Pure experimental indie pop drone and classic casual noise rock. Also available in yellow gold vinyl!
"...this is at heart a group playing very strong, impressionist pop music with an emphasis on hypnotic guitar riffs and forlorn melodies"

I heart Parks and Records and want to make a donation to the little green label that could!
We gladly accept donations and put them to good use!
Please note: Technically we are not a non-profit organization even though we barely break even on our releases, we give a percentage of sales to non-profits, and we are trying to save the planet. Maybe we should just apply for a 501 c3? Anyway, don't let that stop you from supporting your favorite socially responsible indie label. You can send us a little dough and we will bake it into another great release! Thanks!
