Inaugural release on Electric Cowbell's archival imprint Richmond Relics. Originally self-released in 1986 as a limited-edition, cassette-only title, FA3574 was recorded at Floodzone, a repurposed tobacco warehouse studio in Richmond.
The album features ten original instrumental tracks that capture the group’s kinetic chemistry and off-kilter blend of late-’70s/early-’80s art rock, jazz, noise, and improvisation.
The group's live appearances drew multigenerational audiences of punks, metalheads, jazz fans, students, and artists alike, and all four members were veterans of Richmond’s jazz, rock, and new-music communities, later contributing to influential projects including Sparklehorse, Cracker, Curlew, and Gutterball.
