ferric mordant records
the dogs

round bits of plastic, with music on

Ferric Mordant presents for your joyous receipt, a few musical offerings which we would hope you would find as neccessary as what we do. The music asked for a wider orbit and we had no option but to aquiesce.
So yes, this record label is a labour of love, pure and simple.
And no, no more demos, please.
