Just wrote this up for work, and there are folks here who are going to 
absolutely love this album.  Check out www.myspace.com/bigfresh for

Apples In Stereo leader Robert Schneider has founded a new label, 
Garden Gate Records, and its first release is the second album by Big 
Fresh, a psych-pop outfit from Schneider's adopted hometown of 
Lexington, Kentucky. It's something of a family affair, in fact: Big 
Fresh leader John Ferguson is a part-time Apple, and he and 
keyboardist Ben Fulton also play in Schneider's rockier side-project 
Ulysses.

Coming nearly a full eight years after Big Fresh's 2001 debut Yes, 
Nice, Please, Thanks, the new album BFF (it stands for Big Fresh 
Forever) sounds like they've been working on it all that time: every 
nook and cranny of first single "WLUV" (one of several songs streaming 
from the band's Myspace page) is filled with the sort of ear-grabbing 
sounds that mark the band as students of the XTC/Jellyfish wing of 
pop. Ferguson is actually a second-generation master of this sort of 
thing: his dad Roger Ferguson was an early musical partner of northern 
New Jersey's DIY legend R. Stevie Moore, appearing on many of the 300+ 
tapes and CD-rs Moore has recorded over the last 40+ years. (Later 
this year, Garden Gate plans to reissue Herald, Goods, an early-'70s 
effort by one of Moore and Ferguson's bands.) BFF will be released on 
April 21.
