So what is actually going on here? Well…

The final Meditations 4-way split 7” in the series of 5 ‘Understanding’ released on the 27th with new flames from Malevich, R. Josef, Heel Turn and Wanderer. The physicals are expected early 2022 and are out of 500 instead of 600! Linked here!!!

Today? Well there are two things, actually.
1) A sick Tomb Tree Tapes release for an awesome Australian screamo/math-rock/post-hardcore band called Hanoi Traffic is set for 9am PST on the 30th. Only 57 copies were made of this incredibly overlooked 2021 release.

2) My new label Softseed Music is releasing its first album today via Ontario’s Opheliac aka Ophelia from Burial Etiquette. It’s incredible synth-wave/acoustic stuff for fans of Grouper, Grimes, Nicole Dollanganger, Boards Of Canada, etc. The digitals and tape pre-orders are done exclusively through bandcamp, but once we actually have the cassettes we’ll put the remainder up in the two ZBR stores. As it will be for all Softseed Music releases. Release linked here!

What’s happening the day after? Zampler. Fucking Zampler, yo. 10 brand spankin’ new tracks and 27 previously released bangers!

The following day? Ditch Organ on Tomb Tree.

And after that? Break. No shipping/no posts from January 3rd-16th.

What could possibly be next? The destruction! The humanity! Haaaaaaaaay!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: OPHELIAC = Straight up, Ophelia is a helluva talented individual. These tracks are astounding and exactly what I wanted for Softseed Music. Please give us some support if you enjoy the music at all.
