Press Release
"

Sarathan Records is proud to announce the signing of Seattle's *Feral Children
*. This high-energy indie-rock band brings a new dimension and aesthetic to
Sarathan's already eclectic roster, with their wild range of experimental
explorations and explosive live show. Their debut album, *Second to the
Last Frontier*, was self-released locally to overwhelming praise and will
receive its proper US retail release summer 2008 through Fontana/Universal
and international digital release through IODA.

Produced by *Scott Colburn* (*Animal Collective*, *Arcade Fire*), the album
draws upon and expands from their diverse set of influences. Comparisons to
*Animal Collective* and early-era *Modest Mouse* are good starting points,
but don't fully recognize Feral Children's complete range. Local press has
been nothing short of enthusiastic leading to great optimism for 2008.

- "The future is now for the Feral Children" - *John Richards, KEXP*
- "Second to the Last Frontier is one of the more memorable Northwest
albums of 2007." - *Don Yates, Music Director at KEXP*
- "Perfect, absolutely perfect."(4 ½ stars) - *Katie Sauro, Seattle
Sound Magazine*

Feral Children may have joined Sarathan's 'nest', but they will never be
tamed or domesticated. Catch Feral Children in Austin this March where they
will be playing *multiple SXSW parties*! More information can be found at
