Chaos, coincidence and stubbornness: Motek’s endless jam sessions result in combinations of melodies, rhythms and creative flaws. Recording and re-listening to them, MOTEK are able to reconstruct a few ‘holy’ moments into their songs. Their sound is crafted by effect-laden guitars wandering around needy bass and entrancing drums. On stage, MOTEK combine their music with images, imagery, and imagination. They are well-known for their particular approach to live concerts, interweaving songs and visuals into a vigorous performance.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/enola.be\/muziek\/blog\/22242:motek-is-nu-echt-terug-\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEnola.be\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/nbhap.com\/news\/motek-are-back\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003enbhap\u003c\/a\u003e mentioned before, \u003cstrong\u003e‘MOTEK is back’\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Walking through the door. Everybody is ecstatic. Lights are shimmering off of the glimmering faces. Each one unknown. Each visage, new. Among it all, you feel a sense of connection. From where and why? You feel it’s not meant to be understood as it is simply innate. Within each smile is a presence of you. Of us all. A visage like a mirror. Inspiration, unknown and unbeknownst. Vicariously, you can see the world as whole. Together and always new. And you move on, as who? This is the impact of MOTEK’s new release, Sonder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something to be said about the genre of “post-rock,” as it’s become known, but more importantly, instrumental music as a whole. MOTEK simply lays down this truth in an exemplary fashion. These guys hail from the country of Belgium and have grown up with what seems to be a very inquisitively relaxed state of mind. One where the world around them only needs to be taken as seriously as it must. One where appreciation is abundant. One where people are more interested in understanding each other than judging their first impression. Sonder makes that human connection. A constructive strength that makes the world feel like an exhilaratingly beautiful place to live. In times like 2013, it’s easy to be lost in the chaos that is abound. This record finds a way to control all of that and make you feel at peace. You’re at home. Interconnection is not a struggle but an everyday occurrence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonder is simply miraculous in it’s undertaking. You will listen to this album and imagine many intricately thoughtful nights to create such an album when in reality it took these individuals two nights to carve out the majority of this sculpture. As a band, they found a wavelength and let pure, innate, and unorchestrated emotion take hold. Simply put, they let it pour out; as human beings who were built to expel this great music on the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esource: \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/slyvinyl.com\/post-rock\/motek-sonder-limited-edition-on-180-blue-180g-black-vinyl-lp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSly Vinyl\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=83289771\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\"\u003e\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href=\"http:\/\/dunkrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/sonder\"\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Sonder by MOTEK\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;\/a\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/enola.be\/muziek\/blog\/22242:motek-is-nu-echt-terug-\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEnola\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/nbhap.com\/news\/motek-are-back\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003enbhap\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/damusic.be\/telex\/2013-09-12-motek-stelt-derde-album-voor\" target=\"_blank\"\u003edamusic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/enola.be\/muziek\/nieuws\/22339:nieuwe-video-motek-online\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEnola\u003c\/a\u003e (bis)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.snoozecontrol.be\/index.php\/reviews\/16-binnenlandse-reviews\/2145-motek-sonder\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSnoozecontrol\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cobra.be\/cm\/cobra\/muziek\/muziekrecensie\/1.1757165\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCobra.be\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":543351265,"sku":"DNK1317-LP-V1","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":543354101,"sku":"DNK1317-LP-V2","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/IMG_1250.jpg?v=1571438834"},{"product_id":"pray-for-sound-everything-is-beautiful-2xlp","title":"Pray For Sound • Everything Is Beautiful [2xLP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEverything Is Beautiful\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003ePray For Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecond pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e on 180g gold and black vinyl in revised cover with gold foil layer.

Their 2014 debut Mon is a Master’s class in delicate melodies and sonic textures, having proven to be one of the genre’s most beautiful records that year. Their sophomore release Cycles, recorded at Mile End District’s Hotel2tango by Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s Thierry Amar, boldly breaks in some ways from that approach, exploring the possibilities of a rawer sound based more heavily on an inspired three-guitar attack and a wealth of dramatic crescendos. One of Montreal’s finest emerging post-rock groups, Appalaches is Jared Coliadis (guitar), Mathieu Salvail (guitar), Anthony Thomassin (guitar, keys), Sebastien Legault (bass) and Maxime Legault-Venne (drums). — \u003cem\u003eText by David Zeidler\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1183601687\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href=\"http:\/\/appalachesmtl.bandcamp.com\/album\/cycles\"\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Cycles by Appalaches\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;\/a\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AppalachesMTL\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Appalaches on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/appalachesmtl.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Appalaches on bandcamp\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Red (1st pressing)","offer_id":48672717967,"sku":"DNK1978-2LP-V1","price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Turquoise\/black (2nd pressing)","offer_id":15579642232941,"sku":"DNK1978-2LP-V2","price":24.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/IMG_3093.jpg?v=1571438877"},{"product_id":"b-o-l-t-2-2-lp","title":"[ B O L T ] • ( 0 4 ) [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e( 0 4 )\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003e[ B O L T ]\u003c\/strong\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003evinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes on \u003cstrong\u003e180g colored vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e (electric blue with subtle grimace purple smoke) and gatefold cover with spot UV logo on the cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelease: Nov. 10th, 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"For stretches of time it feels as if you are gazing into an oppressive oblivion while listening to an ambient haunted house soundtrack, only to have your senses rattled by swells of doom metal that can make a funeral dirge feel like light-hearted fun.

Looking into a moment from the penultimate track “An Encounter With The Sun,” the performance toward the end of the song seems to reveal a willingness, even a desire on the band’s behalf to demolish their respective instruments; to erode their vessels for the opportunity to crush listeners and raze their own creation in the interest of pushing an emotional envelope that is as breathtaking as it is volatile. This instance could indeed be characterized as “subdued” in comparison to other spots throughout the album, so be prepared to listen with clenched teeth and fists.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eA savage rhythm section and tortured screams collide with soaring riffs in a way that is brilliantly jarring, forcing the listener to grapple often with whether they should stomp the ground beneath them in anguish or raise their heads and bellow victoriously toward the heavens.

Rather than being content with material which had already proven to be both dense and rewarding, how could they continue to challenge themselves, to challenge the very idea of what it is they had set forth to accomplish as a collective? The ultimate answer became to cut through the bramble of their own compositions in search of individual ideas, and to dive deeper into the concept of a single riff or even a drone, to fully explore it, de-construct, rebuild, and go places they never would have expected. These sessions ultimately came together to form \u003ci\u003eNo Tether\u003c\/i\u003e, an album whose title truly represents the material within. What listeners will hear on this record is what happens when artists eliminate their boundaries in the pursuit of discovery; this is the soundtrack to cutting the cord of expectation. The result is a bold work of art that acts both as an experiment and a statement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOn \u003ci\u003eNo Tether\u003c\/i\u003e listeners will bear witness to barely-restrained prog uproar (“The Alarmist”), dense, oppressive doom droning (the aptly-titled “Cavern Ritual”), ultra-atmospheric, jazz-tinged space metal (“Signal Erosion”), piano and percussion-led experimentalism (“Inner Dissonance”), mind-altering post-metal cacophony (“Binary Collapse”) and slow-burning noise rock (“No Tether”).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWhile it all seems to be a chameleonic, far-flung assortment of stylistic directions, it all ties back into what Tangled Thoughts of Leaving is all about at its core – uncompromising sonic experimentation.

In doing so, the songs on \u003ci\u003eNo Tether\u003c\/i\u003e represent the fullest crystallization of the band’s varying aesthetics.

Originally working from an instrumental template, the band folded a focus on electronic sounds into their metal foundations. As time progressed and new members joined the mix, the band eventually re-shaped themselves into the fully-realized unit that has now emerged with the release of their third album Exoplanet, which they unleashed to the (digital) world on 1 December 2017.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While the electronics remain as an integral piece of the puzzle, the band has come forth with a richer palette of sounds for this release, featuring snarling riffs and a dual vocal attack courtesy of guitarist Mathieu Vanlandtschoote and bassist Kurt Vanlandtschoote. Adding textures to their chugging, guttural sound is guitarist Glenn De Loor, while founding member Wout Lievens holds down the rhythm section with his focused drumming and provides the electronic elements and samples. Besides Lievens, one carryover from the band’s early days is the presence of Tobias Stieler (Kokomo), who mastered Expoplanet, while recording and mixing was handled by Jannes Van Rossom as Deaftone Studio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On Exoplanet listeners can find enticing stylistic blends of post-metal and post-rock (most noticeable on the standout track \u003cem\u003eMinkowski\u003c\/em\u003e), powerfully heavy soundscapes accented by electronics and vocal samples (\u003cem\u003eObey the Martians\u003c\/em\u003e), as well as soaring, emotional passages such as those found on \u003cem\u003eBleak Daylight\u003c\/em\u003e. This is Stories From The Lost’s magnum opus to this juncture, the culmination of 6 years of sonic expansion and redefinition of artistic purpose. The power and confidence with which these songs approach their audience reveal a creative chemistry between members that has allowed them to propel light years beyond previous releases, utilizing an arsenal of punishing riffs and carefully measured grooves that will both batter and bewitch the listener.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e — Text by David Zeidler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=619916553\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=63b2cc\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href=\"http:\/\/storiesfromthelost.bandcamp.com\/album\/exoplanet\"\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Exoplanet by Stories From The Lost\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;\/a\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Stories From The Lost on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/storiesfromthelost\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Stories From The Lost on bandcamp\" href=\"https:\/\/storiesfromthelost.bandcamp.com\/album\/exoplanet\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Stories From The Lost on Instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/storiesfromthelost\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Dark Green","offer_id":12977254105197,"sku":"DNK1857-LP-V1","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gold\/Black","offer_id":12977254137965,"sku":"DNK1857-LP-V2","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Golden Anniversary Edition (X repress)","offer_id":39438142603373,"sku":"DNK1857-LP-V3","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Anniversary Edition (X repress)","offer_id":39438142963821,"sku":"DNK1857-LP-V4","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/SFTLgold.jpg?v=1628518691"},{"product_id":"le-temps-du-loup-cardinal-lp","title":"Le Temps Du Loup • Cardinal [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCardinal\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eLe Temps Du Loup\u003c\/strong\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003evinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnniversary Repress\u003c\/strong\u003e comes on 180g vinyl in revised album cover with gold foil detail and in two colour variants: black and gold vinyl.

There are occasions of understated beauty and more nuanced delivery (“Agartha”), of probing, careful curiosity (“Karellen I – Contact”), and even occurrences of upbeat groove hurtling into space rock territory (“Eulerian”).

Upon listening through their debut record \u003cem\u003eAll Anchors No Sails\u003c\/em\u003e, there is nothing about this band that suggests that this is their debut material. Seething with sheer power and boasting a supremely confident sound, Hæster invites comparisons to metal behemoths such as Cult of Luna and Mastodon. But it doesn’t take much further examination to see their own unique elements bleeding out to the surface to set them apart; bursts of organs and female vocals, disquieting vocals samples, guitar leads emerging to cut through the densely weighted riffs, swaths of startlingly beautiful melody – all of these things combine to add surprisingly rich dimensions to \u003cem\u003eAll Anchors No Sails\u003c\/em\u003e that help it differentiate and rise above the relentless one-dimensional assault that can sometimes characterize lesser post-metal artists. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, in case you missed the suggestiveness of the album’s title, this is no light-hearted soiree. \u003cem\u003eAll Anchors No Sails\u003c\/em\u003e is largely characterized by its thundering guitar riffs, which are propelled by precision percussion that makes all the difference. It unfolds with sometimes mathematical calculation, but it never ceases to be engaging. The gripping groove of \u003cem\u003eIronmongers\u003c\/em\u003e opening perfectly complements the more traditionally punishing savagery of its verse sections, though the drums are always ready with a compelling rhythm when the moment suits it, constantly pushing the track forward into new and exciting territories. The conceptually-linked \u003cem\u003eGhost in Machines\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eGhost In Us\u003c\/em\u003e reveal Hæster as a band capable of thoughtfully crafting their ideas without ever over-selling the drama in ways that many artists do when exploring progressive composition. The songs on \u003cem\u003eAll Anchors No Sails\u003c\/em\u003e have an uncanny tendency to keep it straightforward enough to successfully deliver the goods while layering in nuances and textural elements that allow them to traverse an ever-expanding palette in a fashion that will undoubtedly draw in even the most discerning post-metal aficionados. — by David Zeidler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1298284795\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/haester.bandcamp.com\/album\/all-anchors-no-sails\"\u003eAll Anchors No Sails by Hæster\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/haesterband\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Hæster on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/Haesterband\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Hæster on Instagram\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13684528676973,"sku":"DNK1866-LP","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/IMG_1973_edit.jpg?v=1571438879"},{"product_id":"girih-eigengrau-lp","title":"Girih • Eigengrau [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEigengrau\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eGirih\u003c\/strong\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003e180g colored vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond pressing comes in an upgraded cardboard 12\" sleeve in two variants:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEU variant:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSmokey Trans Green w\/ Trans Yellow Inner Fade (limited to 150 copies)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUS variant:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Smokey Trans Yellow w\/ White Blob \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e(only 20 available through dunk!records, limited to 150 copies via \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.athousandarms.com\/\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.athousandarms.com\/\"\u003eA Thousand Arms\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRepress released Oct. 28, 2022.\u003cbr\u003eOriginally released Nov. 16th, 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInfo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\"It is a rare and exciting opportunity to come across a band that is working as a virtually unknown entity but with a fully-realized sonic aesthetic.

It's this ability to blend styles that sets Girih a notch above; avoiding the one-note pitfalls inherent in prescribing to a single genre style, they invite a larger audience to appreciate the work they've created. Their heavily-textured sound translates impressively to their live performance, boosted by their expert use of looping and layering on stage. Beyond their finely-tuned aural tapestry, they find other ways to engage fans by planting secrets and Easter eggs within their visual material, leading ultimately to a number of intriguing buried treasures.

Existing within broad and experimental soundscapes, their music occupies a seemingly endless terrain of free space. But while it is a place of exploration it is also place in which losing oneself is strongly encouraged. Comprised of Dirk Serries and Tomas Jarmyr (Yodok III, Motorpsycho, Fear Falls Burning), they bring to the table extensive experience in the realm of experimental music, channeling their deep understanding and organic approach to crafting sound into free-form compositions that paint with bleak and mysterious strokes but also offer the reward of beautiful discovery for curious and adventurous listeners. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Their newest creation Governed By Decay is an exploration of what can grow anew when you allow for the utter breakdown of your surroundings. Featuring a single extended composition per side, this record never presses and never attempts to build an easily inhabitable space for either the listener or the artist. Instead, it begins from a place of deconstruction, taking things that would - in certain contexts - be secondary elements and allowing them the space to grow and ultimately shine of their own volition. Although the music comes from a conceptual landscape that may once have been referred to as free jazz, what listeners will find instead are whispers of that idea folded into the peripheries of other ideas – just beyond the end of one’s sight lies the patient plains of drone, the wispy, blurred edges of shoegaze, the distant melodies of post-rock. While none of these elements ever take a firm hold, they nevertheless matter deeply, and it’s the way in which the combination of minimalist approaches combines to form a whole that is nebulous and ever-shifting but nevertheless tangible is what lies at the heart of The Void of Expansion’s powers as thoughtful and driven masters of sonic exploration. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is not a journey for the casual listener, but as is often the case the greatest rewards lie beyond the most difficult challenges. If you are seeking to learn how the manipulation of the sparsest sounds can be formed into something entirely engaging, or to witness how true musical artists can compose fully-realized works without once leaning on the riff-and-hook formula, perhaps you are prepared for Governed By Decay. As a bonus, those who purchase the vinyl release will also receive a nearly 30-minute continuation of the record on a CD that will not be available individually otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— text by David Zeidler at Young Epoch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/528283926\u0026amp;color=%232c2c2c\u0026amp;auto_play=true\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thevoidofexpansion\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Void Of Expansion on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14102236364909,"sku":"DNK1862-LPCD","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/IMG_2613.jpg?v=1571438879"},{"product_id":"tangles-thoughts-of-leaving-deaden-the-fields-2xlp","title":"Tangled Thoughts of Leaving • Deaden the Fields [2xLP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeaden the Fields\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eTangled Thoughts of Leaving\u003c\/strong\u003e on double vinyl.\u003cbr\u003eThis first pressing (!) comes on red with black marbled vinyl.

Their 2011 debut \u003ci\u003eDeaden The Fields\u003c\/i\u003e presents as a love letter to prog, jazz and post-rock, unique and sprawling but more dedicated to approachable flow than its unyieldingly challenging younger sibling. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThis is not to say that \u003ci\u003eDeaden The Fields\u003c\/i\u003e can be easily digested upon first listen; laughing in the face of quick and snappy album openers, the record begins with the 17-minute monolith “Landmark.” The impressive trick that TTOL executes, however, is making this potentially intimidating running time feel entirely manageable, as the powerful one-two punch of keyboardist Ron Pollard and drummer Behn Stacy somehow imbue their sonic gymnastics with an unexpected listenability. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eFor all intents and purposes, \u003ci\u003eDeaden the Fields\u003c\/i\u003e should be a difficult record to wrap one’s head around, even for seasoned listeners, but it remains such that one can lock into a groove in the same moment that they are awed by the skill and craftsmanship of it all. This is in many ways facilitated by the manner in which guitarist Andrew McDonald and bassist Luke Pollard never overcrowd the mix, and in fact fill the spaces around the free-jazz madness supplied by Ron Pollard and Stacy in ways that pull everything together in the necessary fashion to allow these very intellectual compositions to be instantly enjoyable on the visceral level that is integral to the ultimate success of the music.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMastered by Swedish engineer Pelle Henricsson (Cult of Luna, Refused), \u003ci\u003eDeaden the Field\u003c\/i\u003e quickly became championed by listeners, leading to TTOL’s consistent support of major acts touring Western Australia (Russian Circles, Boris, The Ocean, etc.) and their increased visibility and reputation in prog and post-metal\/post-rock circles, ultimately blazing a path to their highly touted 2015 masterpiece \u003ci\u003eYield To Despair\u003c\/i\u003e and beyond to \u003ci\u003eNo Tether\u003c\/i\u003e’s release in 2018.

Appropriately, PILLARS’ Marc Ertel guides the reimagining of \u003ci\u003eCavum\u003c\/i\u003e to its conclusion with a fresh take on “Escape,” balancing restraint and disquiet in a way that expertly leads listeners back to the beginning of it all to again set about on a new exploration of the source material.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe new exploration of the record represents the desired outcome for the remix album, one that brings in relevant voices in the genre and allows them to interpret the music in exciting new ways, but ways that also expand upon the experience of the original album.

Lauded for their ability to deftly balance patient melodic passages with propulsive, fiery riffing, the songs had an immediacy and sense of direct purpose that shook post-rock listeners to attention. For their sophomore release, the band demonstrates an ever-sharpening focus on a profound exploration of the sounds and textures they’ve become known for, expanding both upon their dreamier meditations as well as the roaring immensity of their heaviest escalations. \u003cem\u003eCavum\u003c\/em\u003e sees a version of PILLARS that has only grown in confidence and conviction; it’s a searing and fiercely determined set of compositions that leaves no doubt that this band is now an entrenched force to be reckoned with as the genre moves toward a new era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConceptually, \u003cem\u003eCavum\u003c\/em\u003e is an album about this unique moment in human history, when we are simultaneously more connected and yet more isolated than ever. The Latin word for a pit, the cavum is an emblem for the dissolution of our collective consciousness as it has grown more intertwined. In age in which one can reach out and speak to people anywhere in the world, we are finding an increase in depression, a loss of tangible experiences and physical interactions, a growing sense of existential dread. At the same time, there is a blossoming taking place, a heightened awareness of the arts, an ability to connect with people we never would have even twenty years ago. Indeed, the post-rock genre itself would not be advancing in the way that it is without this technology facilitating it. So, for every coin, two equally integral sides to consider. \u003cem\u003eCavum\u003c\/em\u003e seeks to utilize its sonic palette to explore these themes of the light and the dark and find precious balance within them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eListeners will find tension and rage and desperation in a track like the aptly-titled opener “Escape,” whereas they can seek a sweeter release in the second single, “Solace,” which conjures visions of vast skies and welcoming horizons with its gentle melodic refrain that patiently grows into a triumphant climactic swell. Where \u003cem\u003eCavum\u003c\/em\u003e finds its truest peaks, though, are in the tracks that blend the entire spectrum. The lead single “Dissolution” is a perfect example of how the light and the dark work best as companions as opposed to adversaries. The sheer power of the track’s introductory detonation is given extra weight with the counterbalance of its more pensive and introspective middle section. When it all comes together for a final crescendo, listeners will find PILLARS functioning at level that is emphatically top-tier. But that is par for the course for the entire record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2019 is shaping up to be a banner year for the genre, and many of its key contributors have emerged from places that may have gone wholly unnoticed prior to the evolution of social media – such is the grandeur of the light. Now it is up to everyone to find a way to fight the darkness, and as it’s always been, music is a sublime place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— text by \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.athousandarms.com\/youngepoch\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Young Epoch\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eYoung Epoch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2847528476\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u0026lt;a href=\"http:\/\/pillarstheband.bandcamp.com\/album\/cavum\"\u0026gt;CAVUM by Pillars\u0026lt;\/a\u0026gt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/PILLARSAK1A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e US Store\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/PILLARSBANDCAMP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/CodaReimagined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eSpotify\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/PILLARSFACEBOOK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/PILLARSINSTAGRAM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Milky with black\/purple smoke (1st pressing)","offer_id":32660162805869,"sku":"DNK2098-2LP-V1","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ultra Clear (2nd Pressing)","offer_id":32660162838637,"sku":"DNK2098-2LP-V2","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/PillarsCavumReimagined.jpg?v=1595839295"},{"product_id":"her-name-is-calla-animal-choir-2xlp","title":"Her Name Is Calla • Animal Choir [2xLP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnimal Choir\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eHer Name Is Calla\u003c\/strong\u003e on double colored 180g vinyl.\u003cbr\u003ePressed with our own hands at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/dunkpressing.com\" title=\"dunk!pressing website\" target=\"_blank\"\u003edunk!pressing\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThird pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e comes on gold and black vinyl and is part of the dunk!records 10th anniversary edition.

Animal Choir features a richly textured landscape, valuing the elegance of stillness alongside the roaring of unhindered emotion, the juxtaposition of patient craftsmanship against unflinching anthemics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning immediately out of the gate with the muscular ferocity of “Swan” and the pure, irrepressible hooks of “The Dead Rift,” it is clear that Her Name Is Calla is completely unafraid of ascending ample dramatic heights. Turning over to Side B the listener finds the skittering electronics and high danceability of “A Modern Vesper” giving way to the steely-eyed spaciness of “A Moment of Clarity” and eventually to the high theatricality of “Frontier.” Similarly, on the second record the band gradually works through the slow burning trippiness of “Vanguard” and “To the Other,” before ultimately evolving into soaring dramatics on “Robert and Gerda” and “Bloodlines.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final emotional swell of “Bloodline,” resplendent in its fevered-yet-confident assertion of “I don’t want to be a stranger in a strange land anymore,” leaves listeners with the distinct feeling that everything has concluded just as it was meant to, ending in this precise and powerful moment. Despite not being aware of its own finality, Animal Choir is a record that reveals Her Name Is Calla calling themselves home, putting all their cards on the table and rising to new heights for one final, spirited run toward whatever lies beyond the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— text by Young Epoch \/ David Zeidler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hernameiscalla.bandcamp.com\/album\/animal-choir\" title=\"Her Name Is Calla on bandcamp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hernameiscalla\/\" title=\"Her Name Is Calla on Facebook\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Black Anniversary (X repress)","offer_id":39751685931117,"sku":"DNK1979-2LP-V2","price":32.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Golden Anniversary Edition (X repress)","offer_id":39751670169709,"sku":"DNK1979-2LP-V1","price":32.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/DNK1979-X_PP_TOTAL_BLACK.jpg?v=1670507214"},{"product_id":"we-lost-the-sea-triumph-disaster-2xlp","title":"We Lost The Sea • Triumph \u0026 Disaster [2xLP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTriumph \u0026amp; Disaster\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eWe Lost The Sea\u003c\/strong\u003e on double colored\u003cstrong\u003e 180g vinyl. \u003c\/strong\u003ePressed manually at dunk!pressing, Belgium. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEU pressing history:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1st EU pressing: \u003c\/strong\u003eBlue \u0026amp; Purple Center Splatter on Milky Clear with 12p booklet included (limited to 500 copies worldwide) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2nd EU pressing:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOrange \u0026amp; Purple Splatter on Ultra Clear with 16p booklet with die cut effect\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(edition of 1000 copies worldwide)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3rd EU pressing:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTrans Red to Blue Fade\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ewith 16p booklet with die cut effect \u003cspan\u003e(edition of 2000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e copies worldwide)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally released October 4, 2019 .\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecond EU pressing released on June 25, 2020.\u003cbr\u003eThird EU pressing releases on June 2, 2023.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInfo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eFollowing their modern classic \u003ci\u003eDeparture Songs\u003c\/i\u003e, a record about heroism and sacrifice in the presence of insurmountable odds, Sydney, Australia’s We Lost the Sea return with a new conceptual collection of songs centering around the evolving and harrowing tragedy of an era that should be our proudest yet continues to unfold as one of our most regretful. \u003ci\u003eTriumph and Disaster\u003c\/i\u003e is an artistic exploration of how our greatest advances have brought our world to the brink of destruction. The record is in ways a reversal of the thematic elements of its predecessor. Rather than giving melancholic ideas an epic scope, We Lost the Sea begin with a towering concept and bring to it nuanced emotional shadings and a sadness painted with unique whimsy as it ponders the feeling of gazing upon the sweeping grandeur of what was once ours one final time through tired, crestfallen eyes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe indignation of the record can be seen clearly in the massive riffs and swirling climactic maelstrom of the album-opening single “Tower,” the driving progressions of “A Beautiful Collapse,” or the feverish cacophony that introduces “The Last Sun.” But it’s the ways they utilize their broad canvas in the spaces between these dramatic swells that truly defines the tone of \u003ci\u003eTriumph and Disaster\u003c\/i\u003e. The album is breathlessly expansive in its loudest and most confrontational moments, but its greatest sense of immediacy comes in softer instances, for it is in those places where We Lost the Sea appeal to that which is most delicate and thoughtful in us. The aforementioned tracks deftly balance both approaches, leading piece by piece to “Mother’s Hymn,” which acts both as lament and lullaby as the album’s sonic horizons drift into the distance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAmidst the darkness of our self-imposed downfall there yet remains innocence and purity and a sense of hopefulness, however fleeting. This largely rests in the hands and minds of children, which reveals a secondary possibility regarding the triumph of the album’s title. In the face of ever-intensifying odds, the dream of a better world dances through this resilient space where ambition and cynicism have yet to combust. It is from this youthful perspective that \u003ci\u003eTriumph and Disaster\u003c\/i\u003e aims to act as a call to our nobler sensibilities. It is an impassioned love letter to the human spirit, seething and tearful in both its longing for a return to reason and its disquiet surrounding the real possibility of accepting our impending demise. But even as its central figures watch the world fade away, there is a reminder that there may still be time for us to avoid sharing that same fate. — Young Epoch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=843170072\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=e99708\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=2280633975\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\"\u003e\u0026lt;a href=\"http:\/\/welostthesea.bandcamp.com\/album\/triumph-disaster\"\u0026gt;Triumph \u0026amp;amp; Disaster by We Lost The Sea\u0026lt;\/a\u0026gt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCredits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by We Lost The Sea and Greg Norman\u003cbr\u003eRecorded by Greg Norman at the Grove Studios, Somersby NSW in March 2019\u003cbr\u003eMixed by Greg Norman at Electrical Audio, Chicago\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Joe Lambert\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll songs written by We Lost The Sea\u003cbr\u003eLyrics and vocal melodies on ‘Mother’s Hymn’ by Louise Nutting\u003cbr\u003eTrumpet on ‘Dust’ and ‘Mother’s Hymn’ by Ellen Kirkwood\u003cbr\u003eMellotron on ‘Towers’ by Ron Pollard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtwork concept, illustration, design and layout by Matt Harvey\u003cbr\u003eStory by Matt Harvey and Mark Owen\u003cbr\u003eStory edited by Robert Dean\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Trans Red to Blue Fade (3rd EU pressing)","offer_id":46783747522896,"sku":"DNK1984-2LP-V3","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange\/Purple Splatter on Ultra Clear (2nd EU pressing)","offer_id":32348882042989,"sku":"DNK1984-2LP-V2","price":34.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"LAST 10 COPIES! - Blue\/Purple Splatter on Milky Clear (1st EU pressing)","offer_id":32348882010221,"sku":"DNK1984-2LP-V1","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/IMG_3932.jpg?v=1685625858"},{"product_id":"b-o-l-t-lavas-magmas-collaboration-lp","title":"[ B O L T ] + LAVAS MAGMAS • Collaboration [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCollaboration LP\u003c\/em\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003e[ B O L T ]\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eLAVAS MAGMAS\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e Comes on 180g colored vinyl.

They’re joined by an aesthetic comrade in Lavas Magmas, the Gainesville, Florida outfit propelled by field recordings and foraged objects. Together these artists tether their guiding principles through a shared interest in building great intensity through unconventional means.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a kinship and a noticeable through-line on these tracks, with each artist contributing their own unique take on parallel ideas. [ B O L T ] demonstrate on “[ 1 2 ]” an ever-expanding forcefulness built through the increase of volume and distortion on sustained notes, impressively achieving feverishness without relinquishing control. Lavas Magmas accentuate electronic instrumentation with tape manipulation and the organic contributions of found objects to give “Sepsis Psychosis” a feeling of being lived-in, an almost tangible sonic environment that envelops the listener and guides the experience in a non-intrusive manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artists join forces on “[ 1 7 ] \/ Shadow of a Grey Ghost,” with [ B O L T ]’s haunting melodic sensibilities acting as a backbone for weighty feedback orchestration and an increasing amount of electronic textural accents, before eventually settling down into a welcome epilogue that offers moments of rest after the immersive exploration of mounting volume that marks the track’s first three-quarters.

Whether exploring ambient soundscapes, building spacious layers of melody or propelling forward with aggressive intensity, Duna is an immersive experience that illustrates their thorough dedication to embracing and expounding upon all the genre has to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a record without a sense of allegiance to structural expectations, moving with a sense of freedom that stems from their consistent transitions through artistic definitions. Having started as a more traditional indie rock band yet owning a sense of inspiration to search the myriad possibilities of composition, their evolution has been fluid and therefore never beholden to a single textbook. Duna continues the broad, post rock-leaning path of its predecessor Kayos, but as a more cohesive concept that flows effortlessly from track to track, with standout moments within each piece that flip the script of expectations. For instance, the guitar melody that concludes “Quit Quiet” is one that listeners might come to expect to hear during moments of tranquil ambience, but while it is constructed out of an initial drone sequence it is then enveloped by a cacophonous wall of noise and percussion that lifts it to new heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes the best way to achieve something truly unique and intriguing is to stop trying to be any one thing. This has been a hallmark of Flash the Readies’ journey from record to record. Duna has patiently winding, thoughtful passages with touches of psychedelic experimentation, crucial stretches of calm that unexpectedly serve to propel the music forward rather than slowing it down, and impassioned bursts of heaviness that carry a vital, visceral immediacy. By never allowing themselves to be nailed down to a single conceptual demand the band has created a work that feels entirely cohesive and fully realized. Where some bands become beholden to the formula, Flash the Readies retain a sense of excitement every time out precisely because one can never be sure what is approaching around each successive corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Flash the readies on Bandcamp\" href=\"https:\/\/flashthereadies.bandcamp.com\/album\/duna\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Flash The Readies on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FlashtheReadies\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29698433384557,"sku":"DNK1981-LP","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/IMG_3685.jpg?v=1571438880"},{"product_id":"lethvm-acedia-lp","title":"Lethvm • Acedia [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcedia\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eLethvm\u003c\/strong\u003e on vinyl.

Bursting immediately with fevered intensity and confrontational energy, Acedia is not a record that listeners can be passively involved with. This is music that shakes, inhabits and consumes you, demanding unrestrained physical response and emotional commitment. Acedia refers to the concept of spiritual apathy, of drifting listlessly away from that which you’ve thought to be your life’s purpose. While Lethvm seeks to explore and honor this conceptual foundation, they also offer a kind of respite from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a record that is unrelentingly compelling and engaging; it never rests, and even in its quieter moments there is a sense of imminent explosiveness. Even as the band pays homage to the concept of losing oneself, they also create an immersive and captivating space that is much like an antidote for the very affliction they are surveying. Like their previous work, Acedia is firmly focused on the darkness. However, unlike some metal bands that regard this realm with misanthropy and cynicism, Lethvm approaches with a reverence and respect for the subject matter that bestows the compositions with a certain tortured beauty. Infusing stylistic elements of post-metal and doom with the unhinged, cacophonous emotional outpouring of screamo creates a raw, incandescent honesty that hits incredibly hard, and the band demonstrates the dexterity to shift tones and intensity levels without sacrificing impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMixed by Tim De Gieter and mastered by the legendary Alan Douches, Acedia rings out with clarity while retaining its sledgehammering force, featuring a sharpness that compliments the immediacy of the compositions and a definition that allows every element to shine even as they become increasingly impassioned and tempestuous. In keeping with the theme of the album, the band is free stray from the path and explore where their impulses take them, while the sturdy production provides the thread that ties it all together. The phenomenon of acedia presents on the surface as bleak and damaging, but Lethvm invites a modern re-interpretation in the context of disheartening modern realities. While uncompromising and often brutal, the songs on this record act as an extended hand proposing an opportunity to destroy and renew, to lose yourself to find freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Young Epoch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lethvm.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Lethvm on Bandcamp\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lethvmband\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Lethvm on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30244119150701,"sku":"DNK1988-LP","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/IMG_4170.jpg?v=1571438880"},{"product_id":"wander-march-2xlp","title":"Wander • March [2xLP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMarch\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eWander\u003c\/strong\u003e on double vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eFirst pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Disc one is electric blue with black splatter and disc two is color in color coke green with black.

Their second release of 2019 is this album-length split with countrymen MORASTH, featuring two grim ruminations on the bleakest edges of the doom and drone framework and the darkest spaces between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning at over 21 minutes, it would be natural to expect [ B O L T ]’s contribution, “[ 0 6 ],” to be sprawling and labyrinthine, but it’s quite the opposite, a tightly wound and carefully controlled fusion of doom riffs and drone concepts. In actuality, “[ 0 6 ]” is built simply around a single, repeated phrase, which is given plenty of space to breath and time to twist around itself until the listener can no longer recognize if the same thing is happening over and over again or if they have simply become too lost in its thicket to recognize periodic shifts in the formula. As the track progresses, the drums begin to stand out in increasing clarity as the catalyst, whether through menacingly lurching bass drum and crash cymbal strikes or the sudden introduction of blast beats. The hypnotically cycling and impenetrably thick dual-bass provides an unbroken onslaught, but they are conducted by the drumming, which is always defining the tone and energy. In many of [  B O L T ]’s previous compositions there exists the faintest glimmer of hope beneath surface, but “[ 0 6 ]” is a different kind of beast, jet-black and sinister throughout, geared toward listeners fascinated by the opportunity to gaze into the pit and find everything they could have expected reflected back at them without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMORASTH’s “…ut in caligine terrae residam, tamen patria aether manet” works from a more varied canvas, but its pacing makes it a fitting companion for “[ 0 6 ].” Sludge and gloom are the order of the day, as the track powers forward with an unyielding and oppressive weight, like the slow and terrifying march of approaching catastrophe. Where the [ B O L T ] track represents a more nebulous sense of unease, MORASTH traffic in unquestionably evil tones. Although they function within the doom soundscape, there is something far more disquieting about their interpretation; it’s as if where many bands revel in the conventions of doom, MORASTH celebrates its bedrock. More than just a collection of behemothic riffs, “…ut in caligine terrae residam, tamen patria aether manet” makes texture and atmosphere its cornerstones and builds from that sturdy foundation into something towering and impactful. Translating to “…even though I dwell in Earth’s gloom, my home remains the ether,” it’s an appropriate title for a track that - while ostensibly doom-based - feels like something else entirely, simultaneously both threatening and compelling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— text by David Zeidler (Young Epoch)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wearebolt\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"[ B O L T ] on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wearebolt.bandcamp.com\/album\/b-o-l-t-lavas-magmas\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"[ B O L T ] on Bandcamp\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31355651424365,"sku":"DNK1990-LP","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/IMG_4595.jpg?v=1574412046"},{"product_id":"feed-me-to-the-waves-intill-2xlp","title":"Feed Me To The Waves • Intill [2xLP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIntill\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eFeed Me To The Waves\u003c\/strong\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003edouble 180g colored vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComes in a gatefold sleeve with anti-static innersleeves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3rd pressing: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrans Yellow w\/ Orange Marble \u003c\/span\u003e(limited to 300 copies)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2nd pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDisc1 Blue Marble \/ Disc2 Red Marble (limited to 150 copies)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1st pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHalf 'n Half Red\/Blue Marble (limited to 100 copies)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available at\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.athousandarms.com\/\"\u003eA Thousand Arms\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(US), \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.birdsrobe.com\/\"\u003eBirds Robe Records\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(AU), \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildthingmusic.com\/collections\/dunk-records\"\u003eWild Thing\u003c\/a\u003e (AU), \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.churchroadrecords.com\/collections\/dunk-records\"\u003eChurch Road Records\u003c\/a\u003e (UK) \u0026amp; \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"http:\/\/newnoise.cn\/\" data-mce-href=\"http:\/\/newnoise.cn\/\"\u003eNew Noise China\u003c\/a\u003e (CN).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released November 29th, 2019.\u003cbr\u003eSecond repress released on February 12th, 2020.\u003cbr\u003eThird repress released on January 16th, 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=4166714933\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInfo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVasteras, Sweden’s Feed Me To the Waves is an instrumental post-rock band that \u003c\/span\u003eseeks to translate the Nordic flora and fauna into song\u003cspan\u003e, crafting a sound that imbues somber tones and a meditative spirit with the kind of warmth, gentleness and attention to finer details and emotional nuances that characterizes their deeply valued cultural experience. “Intill” translates roughly to “beside,” a word that outlines and informs the intended impact of the record.

Approaching the genre with more traditional rock sensibilities lends a gripping quality to the compositions, while at the same time seeing the band to explore more textured and tender sounds as the record progresses. It’s this gradually unfolding assemblage of varying tone colors that gives the record its richness and depth, a vital quality that maintains the balance between the inherent forcefulness and the underlying emotional resonance integral to its success with listeners.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e In spite of the cheerful and buoyant title, \u003ci\u003eMount Pleasant\u003c\/i\u003e instantly surges from the speakers with a trio of tracks that deliver a dynamic interplay of driving guitars and assertive percussion surging back and forth with one another in a perfect storm. It’s a breathless display of aggression, groove and conviction that leaves no doubt as to the pedigree of the musicianship running throughout the record. The second and third tracks effectively highlight the ways in which Solkyri can approach contrasting feelings with unwavering energy. “Potemkin” is an angry and confrontational song that addresses deceit and disillusion, while lead single “Pendock \u0026amp; Progress” traverses more poignant and warm terrain yet maintains a steady level of passion and sincerity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e As the record moves into its middle section Solkyri engages a lighter, dreamier mood, introducing Rhodes piano in “Meet Me In The Meadow,” which plays directly into the more delicate of the two singles, “Shambles,” a track which ultimately finds its way back to the more direct and explosive tendencies of \u003ci\u003eMount Pleasant\u003c\/i\u003e’s opening act. By the time the album-closing “Gueules Cassées” announces itself, the band has shown it has held nothing back.

Often the specifics of this vision focus in on inspiring beauty, stunning expanse, delicate intimacy; but for all the seductive power inherent in the encompassing light of that aesthetic there would be no sense of balance without a counterpoint emerging from the darkness. Enter the U.K. trio Coldbones, who only leave a portion of the journey to the imagination, opting to clearly state the destination, and to provide the narrative thrust that informs the listening experience. \u003ci\u003eThe Cataclysm\u003c\/i\u003e is no attempt at metaphor; this is a score for the end of the world, an invitation to set aside the lovely vistas for a time in the interest of staring into the black heart beating in rhythm with our collective fears and forfeitures, our mistakes and regrets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAs one might expect from that description, \u003ci\u003eThe Cataclysm\u003c\/i\u003e is a work that travels beyond the horizons of traditional post-rock. Here we find the destructiveness of metal, the considerable breadth of prog and the blurry world-weariness of shoegaze. While there are moments of quiet reflection, they are marked with a lamenting tone, and an ever-lurking sense of menace. More often this record is a fiery declaration composed of tension, anger and discontent, a collection of anti-anthems that achieve towering presence and considerable dramatic weight all while traversing uncomfortable themes with an impressively engaging approachability. Lead single “Collapse” is a shining example of this balancing act, a track that is rhythmically propulsive and uncommonly infectious without straying from the conceptual core of the record; as it progresses it presents like the impassioned cries of a world that has revolted against us and begun to reclaim itself. It is no small feat to compel a listener to be complicit in a hymn to their own demise, but “Collapse” is thoroughly catchy and possesses a forward momentum that’s hopeless to deny.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThere is an arc to the track order that is uncannily inspired, bringing a sort of nobility to the realization of end times. In particular, the unfolding of the penultimate “Hinterlands” finds it reaching triumphant melodic heights usually reserved for more hopeful compositions, but here that soaring manner serves to highlight a steely-eyed acceptance, a regained composure and gracefulness as we stare at our final moments. This feeling carries into album-closer “Extinct,” which opens with searing fury before approaching its finale with fervor and poise, as if to suggest a newly discovered willingness to face whatever lies on the other side. The Alice Urbano painting that serves as the album cover is the perfect counterpart to \u003ci\u003eThe Cataclysm\u003c\/i\u003e: fatalistic and unforgiving, yet remarkably lush and alluring despite its bleakness, it adeptly visualizes the methodology of the music contained within. If the world must end it might as well be guided by song, and \u003ci\u003eThe Cataclysm\u003c\/i\u003e proves a worthy companion for embracing that darkness.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e — Young Epoch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=671861709\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href=\"http:\/\/coldbonesuk.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-cataclysm\"\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;The Cataclysm by Coldbones\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;\/a\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eLinks\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/coldbonesuk.bandcamp.com\/\" title=\"Coldbones on Bandcamp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/coldbonesuk\/\" title=\"Coldbones on Facebook\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Turquoise With Black Marble","offer_id":32155649212525,"sku":"DNK2096-LP-V1","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Dark Red\/Yellow With Black Marble","offer_id":32155649245293,"sku":"DNK2096-LP-V2","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Brown w\/ White\/Orange Pulsar","offer_id":39643617558637,"sku":"DNK2096-LP-V3","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Grey w\/ White Marble","offer_id":39643617591405,"sku":"DNK2096-LP-V4","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/DSCF2437.jpg?v=1739378191"},{"product_id":"the-american-dollar-lofi-dimensions-lp","title":"The American Dollar • Lofi Dimensions [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLofi Dimensions\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eThe American Dollar\u003c\/strong\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003e180g colored vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes in two color variants: Milky Clear with Pink Splatter \u0026amp; Orange with Turquoise Splatter.

The goal is typically a kind of timelessness, but as we live in unprecedented times, unconventional methods take on new life, and hopefully importance. In the spirit of that idea… man, is this the kind of album we all need right now. So many of us feel like we’re constantly walking a tightrope, are feeling like we can’t unwind, are in genuine need of a few moments of respite. Every so often an album emerges from an artist that most likely did not realize when they were composing how timely the results would be, and \u003ci\u003eLofi Dimensions\u003c\/i\u003e is exactly that kind of record. It doesn’t really matter why it’s coming when it is, what’s important is that it’s here, offering peace to the perturbed and inspiration for the downcast. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe American Dollar have long been one of those artists operating in a kind of middle ground, a band with a long history of creating moving instrumental rock that has somehow avoided ever becoming synonymous with modern American post-rock acts. They retain a sort of autonomy in a valued position just outside the boundaries of classification. Blending electronic textures with moving guitar and keyboard melodies, their music has always traveled somewhere in the spaces between trip-hop, electronic, post-rock and ambient, and this inability to be defined is ultimately what sets them apart from the trappings of genre, allowing them to be whatever they want The American Dollar to be in a given moment, always on their terms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLofi Dimensions\u003c\/i\u003e is the band’s eighth studio album, and first in partnership with Post.

The brilliance of \u003ci\u003eLofi Dimensions\u003c\/i\u003e is the way it can be engaging and dissociative in a single moment. It is endlessly listenable, but it transports the listener somewhere else, and there are few people who can say that they do not need exactly that right now. The record moves with pace though it never seems to break its calm; it provides a space where the listener can get lost, and if they’re of the mind, can also rediscover themselves.

Salt Lake City’s I Hear Sirens are a member of that circle, having released their debut EP in 2007, followed by two LPs including 2013’s \u003ci\u003eBetween Consciousness and Sleep\u003c\/i\u003e, an album that has achieved a place of high regard with fans. However, the moment of their greatest acclaim has since stood as their culminating statement. But now their highly anticipated new record \u003ci\u003eStella Mori\u003c\/i\u003e marks the continuation of their inspired exploration into instrumental music and its power to foster emotional release, invite reflection, reward vulnerability, and become the artistic abstraction of a limitless number of interpretations for each individual listener.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFor the band themselves, \u003ci\u003eStella Mori\u003c\/i\u003e represents a spectrum of ideas and emotions that spans widely, touching upon seven years-worth of experiences - triumphs and failures, pain, loss, regret, frustration and the constant search for balance, for those people and moments that keep us moving forward. In many ways it’s about the ever-present struggle between dreams and reality that characterizes all of our lives. There is the exciting whimsy of our aspirations and the sting of never reaching those heights, the allure of nostalgia clashing with the necessity of acknowledgement, and the eventual recognition of romanticism’s numerous traps. But like the titular dying star transforming into a planetary nebula, the greatest beauty comes with the shedding of a previous life. At its core, \u003ci\u003eStella Mori \u003c\/i\u003eis about rebirth, and that moment when you’ve sent off past troubles and come to terms with the future, when all that’s left is the celebration of each moment.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAfter a period of seven years that featured its fair share of uncertainty and insecurity, \u003ci\u003eStella Mori\u003c\/i\u003e shines as I Hear Siren’s most accomplished and mature work to date, a record built not only to serve a myriad of emotional contexts, but to celebrate them. There is apprehension and solitude in the quieter moments, tension and anticipation in the carefully climbing build-ups, victory and vitality in the dramatic peaks, and all of these things are powerful and essential in their own right. No one component could stand as tall without the others, and this integral cohesiveness speaks to the themes the band is seeking to explore. \u003ci\u003eStella Mori\u003c\/i\u003e stands as a statement of both perseverance and internal unity, of finding alignment in a world that seems intent on dividing and conquering our spirit. It is an album that explores death through many lenses, but in a manner that regards the subsequent renewal with a reverence that supersedes the finality.

A collaboration between two artists well-known to the dunk! audience, this record was initially conceived of with an entirely different intention, execution, and platform in mind. Originally meant for live performance at the “Forgotten Futures” arts festival run by John Helps (maybeshewill, Robot Needs Home), the largely ambient concept proposed a combination of minimalist sound, sparse visuals, intermittent text, and collaborative improvisation between Morris and Quail. Despite having crossed paths on tour a number of times, this was to be not only their first performance together, but their first meeting, lending a certain excitement and adventurous spirit to the event. Inspired by Kelly Richardson’s “Mariner 9,” a modern artistic exploration of a distant future on Mars following its abandonment by humans after years of attempted colonization, \u003ci\u003eFor the Benefit of All \u003c\/i\u003etransports its audience to years past, present and future. It sketches a fragmented timeline that leaves the listener with several clues and a vast space in which to piece together the narrative that ultimately yielded a world inhabited only by the forgotten remnants of those who attempted in vain to harness it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUnfortunately, this performance never came to fruition, as the COVID-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of the festival. For a moment it seemed the music would go unheard; while the festival was rescheduled for 2021, Richardson’s exhibit would have moved elsewhere and the immediacy and relevance of Morris and Quail’s compositions would likely have begun to fade by that time. However, rather than abandon the project, Morris decided that he had enough raw material composed to push forward and reimagine the music as a record. Quail agreed to continue the partnership remotely, which in a way maintained the improvisational sensibilities the project was meant to carry, with each artist bringing their unique vision to the material from different locations. In its transition from live experiment to vinyl release, \u003ci\u003eFor the Benefit of All \u003c\/i\u003ehas taken on more structure and concept than it likely would have had in its original intended form, making it a particularly idiosyncratic and valuable item for fans of both artists, of dunk!records, and of ambient soundscape recordings alike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhat was once more of an unbroken atmospheric piece has now flourished into something with greater diversity and conceptual consideration. In both the song titles and audio samples, nods to various science fiction authors and space explorers abound, allowing \u003ci\u003eFor the Benefit of All \u003c\/i\u003ethe opportunity to expand beyond its central narrative. Shifting tones, slowly layered textures, the push and pull between dissonance and melody, all these nuances give the record a special quality, one that invites reflection while never loosening its grip on the listener. There is dramatic tension in tracks like “1972 (A Map From Mariner 9)” and “2164 (Death Is Progress),” surprising, understated but impactful beauty in “2020 (My Battery Is Low, and it’s Getting Dark)” and “2068 (A Cold War),” a drifting, evolving unease in “1610 (The Polymath and Pisa),” and even moments of pulsing rhythmic movement on both “2016 (The Settlers)” and “2212 (We Had it in Our Hand this Whole Time).” Considering the vast journey this music has embarked upon since its genesis and its minimalistic yet intriguing delivery, it is appropriate that \u003ci\u003eFor the Benefit of All\u003c\/i\u003e covers such an expansive and complex timeline in a manner that seems to value the creation of vast spaces for audience interpretation at least as much as telling the story itself.

In many ways they are the prototypical modern metal band: acutely aware of the designs and important beats inherent to numerous subgenres of heavy music, and eager to approach them with a carefully alchemic sensibility that facilitates the creation of a fresh sound from familiar components. But there is also a distinctly nostalgic flavor to their new record \u003ci\u003eMERE\u003c\/i\u003e, a certain something that harkens back to a deeply exciting period for metal fans (or at least metal fans of a particular age demographic). Hearing \u003ci\u003eMere\u003c\/i\u003e for the first time is not unlike coming of age in the early years of this century, discovering bands like Botch, Converge, and Circle Takes the Square, and realizing all of the possibilities beyond what was previously perceived. That freeing feeling of finding artists that rejected the rules and instead did exactly what they wanted with no restrictions was incredibly important for so many listeners who were looking to expand their understanding of the music they loved. What those bands did to construct a crossroads of metal, hardcore, screamo, and punk (and create blueprints for subsequent subgenres like mathcore and post-hardcore) are enticingly similar to what Eleanora does for post-metal, black metal, and sludge.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat ties \u003ci\u003eMERE\u003c\/i\u003e together is the way in which the band blends their more overt modern influences with somewhat less expected elements of hardcore and screamo that will no doubt be dear to the hearts of listeners who lived through the formative years that took place for heavy music now going on two decades ago. \u003ci\u003eMERE\u003c\/i\u003e functions like a bridge between eras, a table where multiple generations of metal fans can gather and celebrate the persistence of innovation. The best attribute this album holds is its subversion of expectations; opening track “AMOS” traverses classic metal riffage, pit-opening hardcore grooves, and spacious post-metal journeying all in just under four minutes. Elsewhere on the album, “ELDERS” scorches, while “EB” drips with atmosphere; “KORRE” scales emotional crescendos, while “SAMARIA” chugs along methodically and purposefully. Everything finally comes to an intense head on the album-closing title track, which is unleashed ruthlessly and breathlessly on the listener, all while maintaining a sharp sense of discipline, revealing the savvy songwriting skill that brings Eleanora over the top. It takes a precise touch to present a sound that feels simultaneously unrestrained and carefully controlled, and in that spirit, \u003ci\u003eMERE\u003c\/i\u003e stands out as an example of a band performing at the top of the their game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/track=1261255773\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href=\"https:\/\/eleanoramusic.bandcamp.com\/track\/amos\"\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;AMOS by Eleanora\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;\/a\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Eleanoramusic\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/eleanoramusic.bandcamp.com\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Turquoise w\/ Black \u0026 White Marble (1st pressing)","offer_id":39594095673453,"sku":"DNK20110-LP-V1","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"White (2nd pressing)","offer_id":39594095706221,"sku":"DNK20110-LP-V2","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/EleanoraMereWhite.jpg?v=1631865000"},{"product_id":"stories-from-the-lost-alternate-endings-lp","title":"Stories From The Lost • Alternate Endings [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlternate Endings\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eStories From The Lost\u003c\/strong\u003e on 180g colored Grey Marble or Dark Grey Marble \u003cstrong\u003evinyl \u003c\/strong\u003ewith lyrics insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited to 300 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInfo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the release of their 2017 album \u003ci\u003eExoplanet\u003c\/i\u003e, Belgium’s Stories From The Lost revealed a vision of itself that was the result of more than a half decade of fluid evolution, experimentation, and moving parts. A much different beast than the one that debuted with 2011’s \u003ci\u003eFor Clouds\u003c\/i\u003e, there was an excited confidence about it that suggested they had finally found a fully comfortable footing. Aside from a final lineup tweak (original drummer Wout Lievens traded in his sticks for a full-time role heading up dunk!records, handing over duties to Geoffrey Vandewalle), the band has continued on the trajectory set with \u003ci\u003eExoplanet\u003c\/i\u003e, and with more than two years spent focused on crafting and honing their punishing brand of doom-laden post-metal, they now emerge a tier above with the release of \u003ci\u003eAlternate Endings\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSonically, \u003ci\u003eAlternate Endings\u003c\/i\u003e furthers the band’s exploration of the darkest depths, building oppressive atmosphere with powerful vocals that range from piercing howls to funereal bellows, unyieldingly fierce riffs, muscular percussion, and ever-present disquieting electronics. What keeps the album consistently engrossing, though, is the way it teases its borders with glimmers of brightness and bursts of tuneful catchiness, and how it folds these elements symbiotically into its otherwise monolithic presence. “Raven’s Misanthropy,” for instance, scales compelling highs without compromising the grim edge that characterizes the entire record. Penultimate track “Coma Vault” exhibits a dense heaviness for much of its duration but really emerges and ties itself together during a memorably melodious climactic refrain. If not for integral moments such as these, \u003ci\u003eAlternate Endings\u003c\/i\u003e would be a more relentless experience, although a less impactful one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are additional complexities to be found when digging deeper into the lyrical content and concept behind the \u003ci\u003eAlternate Endings\u003c\/i\u003e title. Upon initial evaluation, there is an eye toward the crumbling of old stories, the failing of legends to impart their intended values in a modern world. There is the sense that sources we have always drawn strength, inspiration, and comfort from are no longer relevant, and are at risk to be forgotten. But when you move past the bleak appearance of this thought, there is the realization that the present is what will determine the future, not the past. Once we let go of the predictability, and the folly, of what we’ve always known, we open ourselves to a new world – one where we make our own mistakes, learn our own lessons, and forge our own strength. Counterbalancing the grave tone of the music with the rather sanguine nature of the underlying message gives \u003ci\u003eAlternate Endings\u003c\/i\u003e a rare “best-of-both-worlds” quality that is not often extended within the harsh landscape of post-metal. It is the next step for Stories From The Lost, one that leaves them quite a bit ahead of where we last found them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Text by David Zeidler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=588633944\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href=\"https:\/\/storiesfromthelost.bandcamp.com\/album\/alternate-endings\"\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Alternate Endings by Stories From The Lost\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;\/a\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Stories From The Lost on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/storiesfromthelost\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Stories From The Lost on bandcamp\" href=\"https:\/\/storiesfromthelost.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Stories From The Lost on Instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/storiesfromthelost\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Grey Marble","offer_id":39360942637165,"sku":"DNK20103-LP-V1","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Grey Marble","offer_id":39360942669933,"sku":"DNK20103-LP-V2","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/8F28A6B6-AB66-4C85-A304-8EE26CD53E76-12465-000009DB687DCC65.jpg?v=1620987472"},{"product_id":"beware-of-safety-mabon-lp","title":"Beware Of Safety • Mabon [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMabon\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cb\u003eBeware Of Safety\u003c\/b\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003e180g coloured Trans Purple w\/ Black Marble vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on Oct. 31st, 2015, this is the first vinyl press for the 5th anniversary of the album, on dunk!records!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited to 300 copies worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUS fans \u003c\/strong\u003ecan buy this item through \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.athousandarms.com\"\u003eA Thousand Arms\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInfo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirectly following a period of unprecedented creative output, the Los Angeles post-rock outfit Beware of Safety found themselves determined to not only continue riding the wave they’d found themselves on, but to expand the possibilities of the sound they had spent the better part of a decade crafting. Coming off a three year period that saw their split with the highly-regarded-yet-wildly-underrated Giants, their massive and diversely creative breakthrough \u003ci\u003eLeaves\/Scars\u003c\/i\u003e, and its complex, impressively layered follow-up \u003ci\u003eLotusville\u003c\/i\u003e, the band decided to travel together to a cabin in the wintry wilds of Big Bear, California to write together, free from distractions or responsibilities.

There’s a warming effect felt immediately, creating a carefully crafted space where the outside world is left to its devices in favor of quiet and calm. From here, the album has its tone, and even as it spreads its wings over the course of the subsequent five tracks it remains loyal to the peacefulness establish in those opening moments. The louder moments on tracks like “Rise By Sin” and “Mulberry and Heather” take on a bright and triumphant hue juxtaposed with the breezy delicacy of its frequent tranquil passages; the balance the band creates makes it a perfect record for laying on your back staring into space as twilight turns itself over to the evening.

Antwerp’s Go March has been blending myriad musical styles into rollicking anthems for more than a half-decade now, and their upcoming third album will be their first with our label. The brilliant method behind the madness lies in their ability to highlight the best elements of each genre landscape they traverse: the relentless rhythmic energy of krautrock, the last-night-on-Earth presence and immediacy of EDM, the nostalgia-laden ‘80s worship of synthwave, and the thoughtful, organic instrumentation of post-rock. At a trim four tracks, \u003ci\u003eIII\u003c\/i\u003e instantly grips the listener, inducing a trance-like reverie and compelling an irrepressible desire to become immersed in perpetual motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe record gradually drones in on opener “Zipp,” but once the driving snyth line takes over around the thirty second mark any idea of monotony or pensiveness fall quickly by the wayside, and as the percussion joins a steady tightening of the grip ensues. The song has an intriguingly mysterious vibe about it, and remarkably manages to marry themes and moods that tie together krautrock hypnotics, early-2000’s dark house menace, and… 1980’s cop movie themes? Strange as it may seem on paper it works impressively well in practice. The trancelike retro techno vibes carry over into “Ortesei,” which works similarly in terms of rhythmic thrust while exploring much more exuberant melodic territory. “Stampede” then takes a turn into Crystal Method-reminiscent cyber-futuristic aggression, moving along breathlessly as it dodges and weaves toward \u003ci\u003eIII\u003c\/i\u003e’s finale. Closing track “Droplets” then takes on an almost forgiving role as the one instance of mid-tempo composition, offering welcome relief after the pulse-pounding trio of songs that precede it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIII\u003c\/i\u003e is a unique and invigorating record that finds a space where it can maintain fierce individualism even as it attacks a broad spectrum of influences. Although for all intents and purposes this should be quite niche, it in fact has a distinct approachability. As with dunk!festival veterans like Arms and Sleepers and worriedaboutsatan, Go March can just as easily be imagined translating to a crowded club in the city as they can the Forest stage at nightfall. \u003ci\u003eIII\u003c\/i\u003e provides an enticing taste of the fervent energy pulsing through their music, a momentary glimpse into the experience that will undoubtedly compel listeners to seek much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– Text by David Zeidler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/968606614\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\" height=\"166\" width=\"100%\" allow=\"autoplay\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Go March\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/go_march\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGo March\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Zipp\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/go_march\/zipp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eZipp\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GoMarchGoMarch\" title=\"GO March on Facebook\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gomarch.bandcamp.com\/releases\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33197606469741,"sku":"DNK20116-LP","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/GoMarch.jpg?v=1619094351"},{"product_id":"coastlands-live-at-dunk-fest-2019-2xlp","title":"Coastlands • Live at dunk!fest 2019 [2xLP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis double 180g vinyl contains the entire set of \u003cstrong\u003eCoastlands\u003c\/strong\u003e performing at \u003cstrong\u003edunk!festival\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e2019\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Our second collaboration with these masters of chilled-out ambient pieces is the sequel to their April 2020 release, unveiled only a few months afterward. In past years, an album such as this may have been characterized differently. It may have helped create a bubble for a student studying in the school library or put someone in a comfortable zone during a train commute; these kinds of mood sketches often serve as the soundtrack to inner calm as the world rushes busily around the listener. But in 2020 the context pivoted, and as the presence of consistent human interaction transitioned from tangible to tangential, many of us discovered that our stressors began to come from within. This is a moment in which an album like \u003ci\u003eLoFi Dimensions 2\u003c\/i\u003e shifts from pleasurable to pivotal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEven at twenty-one tracks, \u003ci\u003eLoFi Dimensions 2 \u003c\/i\u003enever wears itself or the listener out.

Although this is an album of many brief ideas, there is a perpetual, soothing flow, a smooth elegance, and a quiet grace that pull you into its irresistible warmth. For a record comprised almost entirely of low-key compositions largely characterized by their consistent tranquility, it possesses a sustained immediacy that is a testament to the strength of these seasoned songwriters. Every time you drop the needle on \u003ci\u003eLoFi Dimensions \u003c\/i\u003eyou’ll find yourself surprised when it reaches its end; not many 21-track records can fly by without the listener ever breaking concentration to check where they’re at in the track listing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we continue to diversify the kinds of sounds we pursue at the label, we find ourselves grateful to enter into alliances with groups that are delivering multi-dimensional value. The American Dollar represents a new limb on the dunk!records family tree, and we believe it’s a strong one that will support a previously underserved yet vitally important and ever-present demographic in our listenership. We hope that you not only find enjoyment of the music but enrichment of the spirit, a reassurance during trying times that there is still peace to be had. Albums like \u003ci\u003eLoFi Dimensions 2\u003c\/i\u003e are the kind of integral recordings that can help us all remain centered until we can see one another once again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– Text by David Zeidler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2864064752\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href=\"https:\/\/theamericandollar.bandcamp.com\/album\/lofi-dimensions-2\"\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Lofi Dimensions 2 by The American Dollar\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;\/a\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"THE AD\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theamericandollar\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"THE AD BANDCAMP\" href=\"https:\/\/theamericandollar.bandcamp.com\/album\/lofi-dimensions\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33250658386029,"sku":"DNK20114-LP","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/BA2E6DB5-9A8E-4E2E-81E8-920F13FE83CC-6762-000004C470CA14B2.jpg?v=1611910321"},{"product_id":"malammar-mazza-lp","title":"Malämmar • Mazza [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ci\u003eMazza\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMalämmar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003e180g\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ecolored\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003evinyl\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComes in standard cover with reverse finish and polylined innersleeve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3rd pressing: \u003c\/strong\u003eCopper (limited to 225 copies)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2nd pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Grey Marble w\/ Fire Pulsar (limited dunk!fest edition of 75 copies)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1st pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGrey Marble w\/ Rusty Red\/Gold Splatter (EU variant) (limited to 150 copies)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1st pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eGold w\/ Rusty Red \u0026amp; Grey Splatter (US variant)\u003c\/span\u003e (limited to 150 copies)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: dunk!fest editions are exclusively sold via our webshop. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released\u003cspan\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eApril 30th, 2021.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRepress released on June 13th, 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInfo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlending the uncompromising heaviness of the post-metal bands that reside on dunk!records’ roster with a decidedly nasty, lo-fi hardcore vibe and a devilish punk sneer, Barcelona trio Malammar are a whirlwind of brute force and potent groove that find joy in fury and strength in ugliness on their sophomore LP Mazza. The band was first introduced to dunk! fans at the 2017 edition of the festival, where they took the sometimes-solemn tone of the weekend’s heavier bands and turned it on its head, screaming back and forth with gleeful antagonism during performances, and spraying each other with beer between songs. They radiated incredible charisma, which was no easy task for three guys who look like storybook pirates playing crushing down-tuned metal. That same exuberant overtone drives Mazza, making it indisputably one of the most jubilant instrumental metal records you are likely to hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to better understand Malammar’s core sound you need only draw a through line from Black Sabbath to Kyuss, Botch, Lightning Bolt, Pallbearer, and any band that worships volume, bleeds riffs, and lives within a boundless realm of rhythm. Album opener “Azufre” is as hypnotic as it is hulking, driven by a marching guitar refrain, thunderous bass, and splashy percussion. It is an indication that Mazza is one of those records that does what it says on the tin – you’ve accepted an invitation to be properly pounded into the floor and it absolutely delivers on that promise. When the band picks up the pace during the final minute it proves to be one of the most memorably euphoric passages of down-and-dirty heavy music in recent memory. The listener is launched immediately into the next track, “Junior,” which is introduced with a wild howl from one of the band members that heralds a continuing descent into mirthful madness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMazza is an album that to some degree defies any kind of lengthy, overexplaining commentary. Its mission statement is simple: kick ass, have fun, leave it all on the floor. It does exactly that. There’s no filler, just a 33-minute trip to the pit that guarantees you’ll emerge bruised and blissful if you give yourself over to it. Take for example the central riff on “Garfio.” Almost anyone who grew up loving heavy music can remember this being the exact type of thing that drew them in to begin with. There is just something freeing about a band that keeps it simple, keeps it loud, and gives you license to flail around without inhibition. Uncomplicated, uncluttered, unstoppable, and maybe slightly unhinged – these are the virtues that metal was built on, and they are the cornerstones of Malammar’s sound. It’s been a long year (and then some). It’s time to get back out there, stomp our collective feet, and remember who we are and why we are. Mazza is about as perfect a soundtrack as you will find to aid in accomplishing that goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– Young Epoch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/malammar.bandcamp.com\/releases\" title=\"Malämmar on Bandcamp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wearemalammar\/?fref=ts\" title=\"Malämmar on Facebook\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Grey Marble w\/ Fire Pulsar (2nd pressing - dunk!fest 2022 edition)","offer_id":40098573353069,"sku":"DNK21119-LP-V3","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Grey Marble w\/ Rusty Red\/Gold Splatter (EU variant)","offer_id":39318941597805,"sku":"DNK21119-LP-V1","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gold w\/ Rusty Red \u0026 Grey Splatter (US variant)","offer_id":39318941630573,"sku":"DNK21119-LP-V2","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Copper (3rd pressing)","offer_id":53384799519056,"sku":"DNK21119-LP-V4","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/DNK21119-2_PP_TOTAL.jpg?v=1654871870"},{"product_id":"wander-home-lp","title":"Wander • Home [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHome\u003c\/em\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eWander\u003c\/strong\u003e on 180g colored vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond pressing comes in a single LP in a 12\" regular sleeve on Clear Water colored vinyl and is limited to 200 copies worldwide. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.athousandarms.com\/\"\u003eA Thousand Arms\u003c\/a\u003e (US), \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.churchroadrecords.com\/categories\/dunk-records\"\u003eChurch Road Records\u003c\/a\u003e (UK) \u0026amp; \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/newnoise.cn\/\"\u003eNew Noise China\u003c\/a\u003e (CN).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally released \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMarch 18, 2022. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRepress released on Feb 10, 2023.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003eInfo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe’re thrilled to announce the addition of this energetic young Californian quartet to the label. Despite most of the band still being in their twenties, Wander has been around for close to a decade now, getting their start as teenagers back in the early 2010’s before releasing their debut \u003ci\u003eMourning\u003c\/i\u003e in 2014. Since then, they’ve made a name for themselves with their gripping blend of twinkly post-rock melodies and muscular, high-energy pacing. On \u003ci\u003eMourning\u003c\/i\u003e, this could easily be seen in the back-and-forth of expansive, elegant ballads and scorching 3-minute bangers. Over the years they’ve learned how to marry these ideas more cohesively, most notably on “Eveleth,” the album closer on 2019’s \u003ci\u003eMarch\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor as beautiful as their melodies have been, what continues to distinguish them is their dynamic percussion and tireless vibrancy. This undoubtedly begins with primary composer Ryan David Francisco, whose background as a drummer imbues every song with a unique vigor. His ideas are then translated impeccably through the enthusiastic performance of guitarists Christian Francisco and Bernard Barcela, and bassist Joseph Aguda. Anyone who has seen Wander live can tell you that the way they represent their music on stage has far more in common with frenetic punk shows than the typical post-rock presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eHome\u003c\/i\u003e is yet another feather in their cap, with roots that travel all the way back to the band’s earliest days. Ryan Francisco notes that the driving concept of the record is the Bay Area they call home. Each track is meant to capture the atmosphere of the side-by-side cities of Oakland and San Francisco and represent the feelings the band associates with living there. Even the music itself stretches back years; Francisco says he wrote the central melody for “Moment” on ukulele only days before the band left for their first U.S. tour in 2016 supporting \u003ci\u003eMourning\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEverything else you hear on \u003ci\u003eHome\u003c\/i\u003e can be traced back to that ukulele, as Francisco made it a point to have each song’s genesis derive from the instrument. At first it was a concept borne out of curiosity, as the ukulele’s design led him to unique melodies he doesn’t believe he would have come to on guitar. Ultimately the ukulele became a welcomed challenge, as certain aspects that initially appeared to be limitations proved to be unexpected new inroads to ideas that otherwise may never have been explored. If you detect a breezy looseness, it may well tie back to another inspiration for this new record. The band got heavily into surfing during the writing process, and what’s heard on the album is influenced by the experience of giving oneself over to nature and riding the waves where they take you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere’s a lot to unpack on \u003ci\u003eHome\u003c\/i\u003e. That word means so many different things to different people and comes with a full spectrum of emotions. But for as complex an idea as this has the potential to be, the beauty of the music is how fantastically uncluttered it is. It has an infectious, natural flow that’s easy to get behind, a blissful innocence and integrity that’s impossible to deflect, and a genuinely inspiring purity of performance. It’s a rare record that has a distinct complexity without being overly demanding of the listener. Your only responsibility is to close your eyes and follow the music where it leads you, and wherever that may be, you’ll be home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1899734672\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href=\"https:\/\/wanderband.bandcamp.com\/album\/home-pre-order\"\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Home [PRE-ORDER] by Wander\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;\/a\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wanderband.bandcamp.com\/album\/march\" title=\"Wander on Bandcamp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wakingwander\/\" title=\"Wander on Facebook\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Clear Water (2nd pressing)","offer_id":44263466172693,"sku":"DNK21120-LP-V2","price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Transparent Blue (1st pressing)","offer_id":44263466205461,"sku":"DNK21120-LP-V1","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/DNK21120-2_TOTAL.jpg?v=1675958052"},{"product_id":"cecilia-eyes-sore-memories-always-end-2xlp","title":"Cecilia::Eyes • Sore Memories Always End [2xLP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSore Memories Always End \u003c\/em\u003eby \u003cstrong\u003ececilia::eyes\u003c\/strong\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003edouble 180g coloured vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e (disc 1: Trans Purple w\/ Black Marble; disc 2: Trans Red w\/ Black Marble) in gatefold cover with 8p booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited to 500 copies worldwide.

Seven years can feel like a lifetime, but thankfully their newest double album \u003ci\u003eSore Memories Always End\u003c\/i\u003e is expansive enough to fill that vast space. At over seventy-five minutes, this record may look intimidating on the surface, but listeners will find it’s much the opposite. Shimmering melodies, dreamlike song structures, disembodied vocals, and production that seems to reveal limitless layers all coalesce to form exactly the sort of album that benefits from a meditatively meandering running time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhile not necessarily intended as a concept album, \u003ci\u003eSore Memories Always End\u003c\/i\u003e nonetheless floats through the listener’s mind as a cohesive and enveloping work.

The album is a mood more than it is a collection of songs; a space undefined - by design - in which to drift, to dream, and to disconnect. It is left to the listener where the music leads them, but chances are that direction is going to be either upward or inward. This is music meant for darkened rooms, dusky landscapes, and distant stars, sonically passive yet demanding active engagement – a difficult balance that is impressively and consistently achieved over more than an hour and a quarter.

In a departure from the dream pop compositions of their previous releases, the band largely eschew vocals and live percussion on this album. They instead focus their energies on a style of world-building, featuring layered guitars and synths which carefully reveal lush soundscapes and wield stillness and subtlety as tools to create high impact delivered in hushed tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThough it is a bold move to take so dramatic a detour sonically, \u003ci\u003eDistance\u003c\/i\u003e isn’t an album likely to alienate long-time fans. To the contrary, the band continues to foster similar aesthetics even as they move away from their traditional style of arrangement. The basic DNA remains the same: a patient attention to detail, introspective quality, and ethereal presentation, forming the nucleus that defines Immanu El. The only difference is that the cell housing it is characterized by a quieter and more meditative nature.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis lived-in sound can be seen clearly on a track like “Sparks.” From its ambient framework, with gentle electronics softly skimming the edges of atmospheric pedal effects, there are faint but familiar glimmers of the Immanu El trademarks. These come in the form of distant guitar melodies that tell of a quiet vibrance, or whispers of vocals that lend a warmth and sense of assurance. Before long, these traces give way to passages in which the vocals shine to the surface, with their brevity in the scope of the full album allowing for elevated impact. Listeners will find a similar effect on “The Big Sleep” and “Watershed,” but more importantly they’ll discover how this track and “Sparks” fold seamlessly into the whole of \u003ci\u003eDistance\u003c\/i\u003e. It is by far the most restrained Immanu El record, but the risk inherent in presenting a work so divergent from expectations is paid off handsomely with the richly rewarding results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real beauty of \u003ci\u003eDistance\u003c\/i\u003e lies in the idea that whether the universe unveiled throughout the record is smaller or larger than the band’s previous work is entirely up to each individual listener. Some may absorb it as an intimate and singular experience, while others may listen as they stare up at the stars, allowing it to become the soundtrack of their most expansive thoughts. Neither choice makes more sense than the other, giving \u003ci\u003eDistance\u003c\/i\u003e the rare quality of being an experimental artistic deviation by an established band that proves to be entirely triumphant in its aims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– Young Epoch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eListen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/976772614\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/immanuelband\" title=\"Immanu El\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eImmanu El\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/immanuelband\/the-big-sleep\" title=\"The Big Sleep\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThe Big Sleep\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.immanu-el.com\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWebsite\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/immanuelband\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/immanuelband\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTwitter\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"dunk!records","offers":[{"title":"Ultra Clear Rosé w\/ Dark Blue Smoke [EU]","offer_id":39653497995373,"sku":"DNK21139-LP-V1","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ultra Clear Rosé w\/ Blue \u0026 Black Splatter [US]","offer_id":39653498028141,"sku":"DNK21139-LP-V2","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/6589\/products\/DNK21139_total_PP_DNK.jpg?v=1639060518"},{"product_id":"b-o-l-t-aidan-baker","title":"[ B O L T ] + Aidan Baker [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCollaboration LP\u003c\/em\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003e[ B O L T ]\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAidan Baker\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e Comes on 180g colored vinyl.
