“Did you ever go to Jimbo's out on Virginia Key where the wastewater treatment plant is? The shitty broken glass covered beach next Jimbo's/ facing Fisher Island is what we used to call Flannel Beach,” Coral Morphologic’s Colin Foord tells The Creators Project.The artists, activists, and marine biologists featured in The Creators Project's recent documentary, Coral City, recently teamed up with Miami’s Discosoma Records to put out an eclectic Floridian indie rock compilation album, Flannel Beach: The Doom Years. The 17-track LP features art by Brian Butler as well as tons of unreleased stuff from local mainstays, including what very well may be Awesome New Republic's first recording ever. The art "depicts that beach and surrounding mangroves. Now just a memory like most of the bands on the mixtape, a time capsule," explains Foord. It's basically your very own piece of South Floridian history.
