YOUTH NOVEL ‘Youth Novel‘ tape (ZB237)
For fans of: Funeral Diner, (early) .gif from god, and Infant Island
Since helping release the first YOUTH NOVEL ‘Turned Around Abruptly…’ tape in 2014 we’ve been hot and heavy for this Michigan screamo band. This posthumous album was recorded years ago but shelved when members moved away. During the quarantine Jon and Maya found time and recruited a new vocalist to help finish up the band’s final recordings. What we are left with is a cathartic, precise, beautiful and chaotic release spread over 11 tracks. Taking what made the band great and fine-tuning their juxtapositions, these jams span from a minute to almost seven and are both more aggressive (utilizing three vocalists!) as well as lush/gorgeous. This first run is across 204 copies with the following breakdown:
’Youth Novel’ cassette
- 100 red swirl
- 50 opaque silver
- 20 gold swirl
- 20 green swirl (only available in 2x12” bundle)
- 9 mystery swirl
- 5 test dips
All cassettes come in a clear case with double-sided j-card and download code. 11 songs.
