L'Ere du Vide (2018) follows In Paradox (2014) and Escape Measures (2011), both produced and released independently. For the release of their third record, Jet Black joins ODT Records (CAN), I.Corrupt (EU) and Skeletal Lightning (US). "...dynamically urgent, sweepingly expansive epics that meld the post-rock, shoegaze, and space rock genres." - The Big Takeover "...herculean shoegaze. Distorted, effect heavy riffs reign supreme, while pounding, almost motorik drums, lock the track into a relentless groove. The shimmering vocals put you into a trance, off setting the quasi proto- punk/alt-rock with glorious space rock indebted melodies." - New Noise Magazine Pressed on limited edition black vinyl, limited to 200 copies, with digitaol download.

Limited Edition Audiophile Black Double Vinyl with screen-printed D-side. Limited to 300 copies. Joliette is a Mexican hardcore band and Luz Devora, mastered by Torche's Jonathan Nunez and translated to Light Devours, is their crushing new full length that picks up where 2018's El Alphabiotista left off. Frontman Fernando Obregon delivers harsh, guttural screams in his native tongue to add an exotic spin on the genre. This approach is where Joliette's unique appeal lies. They're incredibly tight, perfection-driven performers who were forced to hone chops in order to break out of a competitive urban scene. Their breakdowns, chugs, and solos are tinged with danceable edge; the kind of foot-stomping that accompanies backyard hangouts guised in dingy basement wear. Joliette employs an array of influences; stark and unpredictable transitions range from deep post-rock builds, to jazzy chords, to crunchy, gnarled distortion. - Audiotree 		2xLP

The furious Italian hardcore act STORM{O} is back in 2019 with the new album "Finis Terrae." Working with SOFT MOON's producer and sound engineer Maurizio Baggio at La Distilleria in Bassano del Grappa (Italy) helped the band find a more cohesive and mature sound. They play a unique mixture of pulverizing hardcore guided by fast, aggressive drumming. Wailing vocals in Italian are intertwined with anxious spoken words, angry shouts and desperate screams. The furious song structures lead to brilliant set breaks that mark the only spots to gasp for breath. The guitars act within the frame of dynamic songwriting that leaves space for a couple of uplifting moments, while the bass adds a discreet noise-rock edge. Over 12 songs that combine the fury and speed of old-school hardcore with the gloomiest melodies of post-hardcore, STORM{O} delivers another album that is a testament to the underground music scene.

While Two Knights' genre-defying songs often walk the line between extremes, even their heaviest moments rarely feel outwardly aggressive. Vocalist/guitarist Parker Lawson's honest lyrics tell the tale of the cyclical pattern of anxiety, but you don't have to listen too closely to get a sense of their inner battles. The music itself often bursts and thrashes alongside each and every emotion. Engineered, mixed, and mastered by Michael Briggs at Civil Audio.

 0653233963446		 WILLIAM BONNEY - ALL TEN (180 GR)
Born from the ashes of seminal Midwest emo bands Merchant Ships and Midwest Pen Pals, William Bonney is an angry, earnest expression of youth-a time capsule of love and loss colored by an all-consuming sense of heart. Despite their brief and volatile tenure as an active band, the songs of William Bonney persist and continue to find their way into the ears of listeners new and old, wide and far. All Ten brings together the entirety of the band's discography: the Good Vibes EP, their side of the split 7" with Chicago's Droughts, and the one-off single "Dope Castle." Fully remixed and mastered by original engineer, producer, and drummer Mike Kenway, and including a new interpretation of the infamous paper bag head by illustrator Em Randall, All Ten is the final and ultimate celebration of William Bonney's lasting impact.

First solo music + comedy release from La Dispute guitarist Corey Stroffolino. Mastered by Heba Kadry at Timeless Mastering (Future Islands, Slowdive, Alex G). Produced by Seth Manchester (Lightning Bolt, Battles, The Body, The Hotelier). Pressed on limited edition Clear vinyl, limited to 200 copies. Stroffolino's ultimate dream was to find a way to combine his love of comedy with the incredible DIY music scene he grew up in, so he came up with an idea: to release a split LP with... himself. Thus, the split between the soulful, introspective indie-rock of Yoon Yung and the rib-cracking comedy of Corey Stroffolino was born.

While Two Knights' genre-defying songs often walk the line between extremes, even their heaviest moments rarely feel outwardly aggressive. Vocalist/guitarist Parker Lawson's honest lyrics tell the tale of the cyclical pattern of anxiety, but you don't have to listen too closely to get a sense of their inner battles. The music itself often bursts and thrashes alongside each and every emotion. Engineered, mixed, and mastered by Michael Briggs at Civil Audio.

Joliette is a Mexican hardcore band and Luz Devora, mastered by Torche's Jonathan Nunez and translated to Light Devours, is their crushing new full length that picks up where 2018's El Alphabiotista left off. Frontman Fernando Obregon delivers harsh, guttural screams in his native tongue to add an exotic spin on the genre. This approach is where Joliette's unique appeal lies. They're incredibly tight, perfection-driven performers who were forced to hone chops in order to break out of a competitive urban scene. Their breakdowns, chugs, and solos are tinged with danceable edge; the kind of foot-stomping that accompanies backyard hangouts guised in dingy basement wear. Joliette employs an array of influences; stark and unpredictable transitions range from deep post-rock builds, to jazzy chords, to crunchy, gnarled distortion. - Audiotree 		CD

Kalamazoo, MI's math rock/screamo act The Reptilian make their Skeletal Lightning and Community Records debut with End Paths - out on September 16, 2016. Progressing from their roots on Count Your Lucky Stars and musical ancestors such as Envy and Slint, The Reptilian situates among contemporary acts such as Loma Prieta and Battles without appearing derivative of them. End Paths is, for its grace and rage, a swanlike anthem crafted emotionally and intelligently to never soften too much for punk crowds nor lose the indie crowd with simplicity. Eight passionately shouted calls from within rapid structures of dynamically spry post-hardcore melody and flowing, adrenal rhythm.

Following the release of their debut full-length Shut Up, along with an EP and a barrage of splits alongside Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate), The World Is A Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid To Die, The Reptilian, Innards, and more, Effing finds Texas duo Two Knights navigating hairpin turns with a manic math-rock technicality, at times screeching to an abrupt halt, but the band's relentless and frantic energy always keep their songs moving forward. While Two Knights' genre-defying songs often walk the line between extremes, even their heaviest moments rarely feel outwardly aggressive. Vocalist/guitarist Parker Lawson's honest lyrics tell the tale of the cyclical pattern of anxiety, but you don't have to listen too closely to get a sense of their inner battles. The music itself often bursts and thrashes alongside each and every emotion. Engineered, mixed, and mastered by Michael Briggs at Civil Audio. Features screen-printed B-side artwork by Jerrod Landon Porter (of Montreal, Kishi Bashi).

 0653233963460		 WILLIAM BONNEY - ALL TEN
Born from the ashes of seminal Midwest emo bands Merchant Ships and Midwest Pen Pals, William Bonney is an angry, earnest expression of youth-a time capsule of love and loss colored by an all-consuming sense of heart. Despite their brief and volatile tenure as an active band, the songs of William Bonney persist and continue to find their way into the ears of listeners new and old, wide and far. All Ten brings together the entirety of the band's discography: the Good Vibes EP, their side of the split 7" with Chicago's Droughts, and the one-off single "Dope Castle." Fully remixed and mastered by original engineer, producer, and drummer Mike Kenway, and including a new interpretation of the infamous paper bag head by illustrator Em Randall, All Ten is the final and ultimate celebration of William Bonney's lasting impact.

 0653233963248		 YOON YUNG/COREY STROFFOLINO - EVERYTHING'S REAL
First solo music + comedy release from La Dispute guitarist Corey Stroffolino. Mastered by Heba Kadry at Timeless Mastering (Future Islands, Slowdive, Alex G). Produced by Seth Manchester (Lightning Bolt, Battles, The Body, The Hotelier). Stroffolino's ultimate dream was to find a way to combine his love of comedy with the incredible DIY music scene he grew up in, so he came up with an idea: to release a split LP with... himself. Thus, the split between the soulful, introspective indie-rock of Yoon Yung and the rib-cracking comedy of Corey Stroffolino was born.
