Today we are ecstatic to announce that Funeral Advantage has officially joined The Native Sound family. Hailing out of Boston, Massachusetts, Funeral Advantage is the brainchild of Tyler Kershaw. Formed in 2013 as a lo-fi bedroom pop project, releasing a demo tape and split 7" with Caténine on Disposable America, Funeral Advantage has since evolved into a full-fledged band including live/ touring members, and a busy schedule of releases this year. Having shared the stage with bands as diverse as Alvvays, Whirr, Craft Spells and Cloakroom, Funeral Advantage plays a brand of dream pop with roots in The Smith's grim, yet jangly guitars, and the reverb-drenched pop of current-day bands such as Beach Fossils and Real Estate.

First up and out now, is a double a-side single available both digitally, and as a limited edition hand-numbered 7" flexi disc, Not In My House / That's That. The single is available on iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp, and all other major digital stores worldwide. The flexi disc is available for pre-order at our webstore, and scheduled to ship within the next two weeks. We've also made a Starter Pack including the band's past releases available in our webstore in physical and digital bundles to help you catch up.

The music video for "Not In My House", directed by Justin Ziebell is now premiering at Noisey for those who want to preview the release. "Full of bare branches, rippling reflections and milky skies, the video feels a lot like home footage from the solo camping trip of self-discovery most people talk about doing but few have actually done", they say.

A split 7" with Former Ghosts will follow the single, and is currently available for pre-order within our Spring Split 7" Series subscription, with individual pre-orders to come next month, and an official release in April. Finally, Funeral Advantage's full-length debut album is also set for release via The Native Sound later this year.
