Hello friendly friend of the Furbelows, thanks for clicking through to our Pozible page!

This online funding campaign is to help us produce our debut studio album.
We've been working together to nut out the production costs and have realised that being thrifty and shifty just isn't going to get us over the line…. 

That's where you come in…

We need your help to fund the making of the album! 

If you look to the right you'll see a bunch of rewards. Have a browse, there are rewards big and small! We understand that everyone is working hard for the money so we appreciate any amount you can spare and we will make it worth your while. ;)

The Furbelows have been playing together for nearly three years now, taking our blend of traditional jazz vocal harmony and hot club swing to many venues across Melbourne and Australia. Last year we toured along the east coast of Australia and met some incredible people. We would like thank everyone who welcomed us and embraced our music. We are hoping to come back and visit you soon and we would love to bring a new album with us! To all our amazing Melbourne supporters, we want to say thank you for coming to gigs on rainy afternoons, embracing our silliness and sharing laughs and drinks after the shows. :)

Thank you songs!

Check out our budget -

4 days recording: $2200
2 days mixing: $1100
Mastering: $1500
Pressing (1000): $2000
Royalties: $400
Artwork: $800
= $8000

Apart from the joy of having a shiny new album for you, this recording will help us in our future endeavours to tour Europe and North America, as well as parts of Australia which we have yet to visit.

Challenges we might come across during the making of the album include:

Finding the right sound - the sweet spot between a nostalgic jazz sound and a high definition recording sound.
Capturing the energy of our live performances in the context of a recording studio.
**Monitoring levels of admiration for and frustration with each other over a period of several days and in a confined space.

Piece of cake, though! We have several methods to try out in terms of our recording set up to achieve the best sound and feeling for this album, and a strong commitment to make something that we and you will all love.
**Jokes on that last challenge. We've driven many hours squished into a van without killing each other, so we think it will be fine.


THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR KIND SUPPORT!


With Love From
The Furbelows. xx
