Triangulate Then November

October 29, 2023 by David Norman

Euclid C Finder! is out and already sold out on Bandcamp and the Canada/International store!!! A few stragglers remain in the U.S. store then that’s all she wrote! You can also still snag some vinyl from Dark Trail Records.

Closet Witch’s guitarist Alex Crist was on CanaDave’s podcast the other day so definitely check that out as we all wait in anticipation for the release of ‘Chiaroscuro’ on November 3rd, 2023. More info, links, and music videos are all linked in the original (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) post linked to this text.

Pre-orders are open now and both the U.S. and Canada/International store links are further down this linked page!!!

Operation X-Ray was back again on Friday, this time playing tunes by Saton, Crowning, and Euclid C Finder!

Saton got some love from White Owl aka Blanca Lechuza which includes an interview with the guitarist/vocalist. “translate to English” is needed for those that don’t speak Spanish. Click on this pic or this text to go there, and jam the new album below (p.s. we’ve got tapes via Tomb Tree).

Out Past the Rings #171 was for Italy’s Storm{o} and their ‘Finis Terrae’ cassette full length, the last of their material before signing to Prosthetic Records in 2022. We’ve got four copies over this store and Bandcamp and we won’t be makin’ more!!! Bandcamp aka the tapes are linked by clicking on this text and the other copies are located below.

2023 - 10 - 26 /// Euclid C Finder! is tomorrow!!!

October 26, 2023 by David Norman

Euclid C Finder! drops at midnight tonight! We’ll have tapes available at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST and you can snag vinyl (ships December, I think) from Dark Trail Records. Here are the tape variants, but we’ll have a boxed /10 variant tomorrow also, we just won’t have pics till the morning.

Closet Witch continues their run to ‘Chiaroscuro’ with their latest music video for ‘Haunting and Releasing’ alongside an interview with Mollie (vocals/lyrics). Get access to the interview by clicking on this text or the pic above and watch the music video below.

None other than Stereogum gave their seal of approval to ‘As Dust Collects’ by New Forms. Blue is nearly sold out (none left on Bandcamp, 3 left in the Canada store, less than 10 in the US store) and black will obviously be out the door next. Click on this this text or the pic above to go to said review.

Saskatchewan’s Riversleem continues to get love, this time from Everything Is Noise. Great write up! Click on the pic above or this text to go there.

My Condolences received the swirl package by Tomb Tree and features Jordan of Scenario on guitar/vox! Really sick stuff recorded and mixed by our mutual friend Jane <3 Only 32 copies exist!

Elle was the subject of the most recent Out Past the Rings, #170 to be exact. These are long sold out but if you’d like some extra info check that embed below or just go jam the stellar LP that is ‘…’ right fucking here.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MANSIONS = Oh my god yes new Mansions! I really loved the dark minimalist synth stuff but they’re back at the poppy shoegaze stuff, both are great!

2023 - 10 - 23 /// 2nd Closet Witch music video

October 23, 2023 by David Norman

Closet Witch has a new song/music video premiere goin’ down over at Not Just A Phase! Click on the picture above or this text to go there. It features Frankie Furillo of The Central and it kicks most serious ass. Video by Jeff Carl @_this.jeff.

Mollie (vocals/lyrics) had this to say about it:
It was really cool to have two long time friends collaborate for those tracks...Frankie did vocals on the second and he's just been one of my favorite people for some time now. And then to have Jeff make a video was super cool, too, as I've known him for most of my time living in Iowa and he's just a creative individual who marches to the beat of his own drum. Both an honor to have involved. Lyrically the songs are along my usual lines, borderline story telling mixed with journalistic emotional release ...Topics relating to personal traumas that I'm sure many can in some way relate to, unfortunately, and that a lot of us find shame inducing to lament on or even bring up but cause indefinite ache in how hard they are to overcome on our own.

Full release is November 3rd, 2023 via Zegema Beach, Moment Of Collapse, Circus Of The Macabre, and Sassbolgna Records. 12"LP pre-order from Zegema Beach Records:

U.S.A. = https://www.zbrusa.com/products/chiaroscuro

Canada/International = https://www.zegemabeachrecords.com/zegema-beach-releases/chiaroscuro

My Condolences comes out on Tomb Tree tomorrow on a super short run of 32 cassettes. Here are the variants! Features a member of Scenario!

Operation X-Ray continues killin’ it, this time playing jams from New Forms and Vibora, but I also highly recommend Flooding and Wednesday which were also played.

CanaDave helped put on this Hexis + Trauma Model + Jisei show back in September. If you need a show in Nanaimo hit me up. If you need a show in Victoria…I’m not your man. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the live videos/links/reviews/etc.

This Noise Is Ours released the next in the ZBR Roster Review series which happens to be the ‘Reflektion’ 12”LP by Sweden’s Nionde Plagan. We definitely helped release that and still have a few stragglers left! Click on this text or the pic above to read it, and you can jam/buy the album below!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: DREAMWELL = This band played ZBR Fest 2023 and were awesome…and now their new album is out!!!

2023 - 10 - 20 /// New Forms + Othiel

October 20, 2023 by David Norman

New Forms released yesterday to a rabid screamo base who ate that shit up, as one would expect. This album was shared all over the place and we moved through more than half of the blue /100s in 12 hours. Definitely snag one sooner rather than later as the band has shows lined up and so 12 tracks will continue to make the rounds on social media. Our records shipped today so we should have them just before Halloween and we’ll get them out as promised in early November. A friendly reminder that we have to charge more on Bandcamp cuz of the fees, so we strongly encourage going straight to our two stores (linked on bandcamp) to get it for cheaper.

Othiel’s new single “Erasing” premiered on (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) last night. We already have these 200 black 12”s in hand which will drop on December 1st via Zegema Beach Records. For fans of: Crowning, Caution Children, Eyelet, Gillian Carter, etc. Click on the picture above or text to go to the premiere, or just jam that shit below.

Borderline Fuckup gave The One Who Became Many - A Tribute to Coma Regalia a nice push with additional love for Edie Quinn and the band. Digital sales and profit for the next two weeks go to the band! Click on the pic above or this text to go there.

Tomb Tree’s next release will be Tuesday October 24th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST via 32 tapes. Here is the test dip /2. Currently it’s a mystery unless you can actually see that cover :)

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: REGARDING AMBIGUITY = Woah nelly! This new album is faaaaantastic! Deep screamo, baby.
