What’s next? Well those Smush 12”s were guaranteed to be finished last week and they’re still not done, so here’s hoping we get news asap, as I’ll have to email the plant again on Friday if nothing happens, cuz they are well outside of their production window :(

The Febuary cds should finish up in the next day or two (cuz we paid for a rush…but again these also aren’t done yet, and yes we did them at the same plant as the Smush 12”s :( Tentative release date is Sept 30th.

Bloom Dream tapes release September 28th! We won’t have many in stock and our cds are already dwindling. Check out their podcast with Edie on Everything Remade, embedded further down in this post.

We repressed the New Forms 12”LP ‘As Dust Collects’ on a brand new variant. Should release early October! Promo pics imminent.

We should be getting our Nuvolascura cds for their two full lengths in the next week so those will go up early October.

We’ve got some ‘Survival/Sickness’ cds from Crowning dropping October 6th as we can’t keep anything in stock from that release. Vinyl gone. Tapes gone. Vinyl repress gone.

Mid-October will see the release of Senza’s new 12”EP with silkscreened b-side titled ‘Celestial Body’. 3 variants. 500 copies. 5 brand new jams. Get fucking stoked.

Franky from Bloom Dream was on Everything Remade! Check out this funny and informative episode below and jam/buy that killer debut EP above!!!

Operation X-Ray played a song from every label CanaDave is associated with. Very cool! Split Silk, Bloom Dream, and Leavs were featured in this 146th episode <3

Right in time for CanaDave to lose his shit (he just got the Emma Goldman LP masters and is trying to cope with it’s amazingness), Edie from Everything Remade interviewed Felix (guitar/vox) from the band. You are not ready. Minds blown early 2025.

2024 - 01 - 01 /// Welcome to 2024

January 01, 2024 by David Norman

This is the last post during our “break”, and we’ll be coming back full force on January 6th with the VS Self tape (pictured below). Until then you can snag some ZBR Fest tickets here, check out CanaDave’s podcast with Ryan of Dreamwell here, or just live your life cuz 2024 is gonna be a rollercoaster. Much love from the Daves.

Zampler #22 ‘86 Percent Combat Effective’ is out and kicking serious ass. 29 jams including 6 previously unreleased by Edhochuli, Terry Green, Gossip, Burial Etiquette, and Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow. Art by Yuri of Bok Suna!

Opheliac + For You, Always For You split cassette just released on CanaDave’s Softseed Music label. Opheliac features Taylor of Burial Etiquette doing some of the most beautiful stuff I’ve ever heard (think Grouper’s more accessible material, but condensed) and Lillyn who you will find hanging out at nearly every screamo fest around doing her best experimental noise/shoegaze/screamo hybrid. If you wanna buy a copy from this store to ship with your ZBR stuff you can find a few copies in the Softseed Section, linked here.

CanaDave has been posting how-to-dip videos on TikTok so if you aren’t following us there you probably should! Starting on Jan 6th you’ll be getting hit with videos about 4-5x per week!

And don’t forget that we released the No Heirloom self-titled 7” lathe a few days back! The clears went very quickly and now we’re down to just black, and we’ve got less than 20 left.

Operation X-Ray was at it again, this time giving our Inosuke some love. I’ve been told the Best of 2023 is next so I’m hella stoked for that episode!
