2025 - 11 - 12 /// Adobe Homes released!

Important updates here first, the Usurp Synapse box bound for Canada arrives on Friday so 100% of the those stragglers will be shipped off next week, missing our official deadline by like a week. Not too shabby, I must say.

Next, the US store sells A LOT of mystery items and we realized it was 100% out of stock…well, problem solved! Restocked and includes test presses!!! You can access that sucker by clicking on this text.

We did it! Adobe Homes is out! After a decade of silence the band returns with a new 12-track album that dips between dark interludes and noodley screamo. The packaging on this is amazing and you’ve got to hold one to really grasp how sick the screen-printed covers are.

Hetta’s new release and first full length ‘Acetate’ drops November 21st on Tomb Tree! The music video for their new “Plainclothes Man” is above, and somehow we have two copies left of their debut EP (which is incredible btw) embedded below on the bandcamp page. The new material is crazy wonky, bringing to mind The Locust, Usurp Synapse, and Missouri Executive Order 44.

Another music video, this is the last Twins single and music video for “Presence”. 12” LP full release on November 21st (records probably won’t be in hand yet) but we only got 30 copies for ZBR and we’ve moved more than 20 already! Buy links in the embedded bandcamp below.

A live studio video of Avery Friedman’s “Finger Painting” was released and you should def check it out. Easily one of my favourites from ‘New Thing’, this Brooklyn-based artist released her phenomenal debut earlier this year and Softseed is the only place to get those sweet, sweet, stupid fancies.

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to Lorne Malvo’s first self-titled EP. We actually sold out of these initially but I realized I kept one back in case of a shipping mishap, so this has been sitting around for a bit and we def aren’t making more. If you want it you can grab it from our Bandcamp page embedded below. Snag now or forever hold your peace!

Operation X-Ray’s 204th episode features the incredible Lucertulas as well as our very own Jota, Inosuke, and Hetta!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MIRA CORPORA = Yeah this slaps.

2024 - 04 - 05 /// Gxllium! promo pics

First and foremost, it’s Bandcamp Friday. Please consider supporting us so we can keep making records <3

.22LR released their self-titled debut earlier this week and it fucking rocks. Fans of Frail Body, Gil Cerrone, Youth Funeral, and Othiel should give this a whirl…I think you’ll dig it hard. Tapes linked to our stores directly through the Tomb Tree Bandcamp below :)

Terry Green premiered their new jam “Full Lip” from the upcoming ‘Provisional Living’ 12”LP. First album in a fucking decade and yes, it’s worth the wait. Even better than their debut!

Gxllium! promo pics have surfaced with the debut album releasing on ZBR this Monday April 8th at 9am EST / 11am CST / 12pm EST!!! Some very sick variants, not many made, as we’ll only have 70. Is that metal on the green tape, David? Why, yes. Yes it is. Bad-fucking-ass. CanaDave spoke with them a few weeks back which you can listen to below.

Hawak released some of the best screamo ever then called it a day. CanaDave finally got off his ass and did another Out Past the Rings, this time for ‘Nuoc’, arguably one of the best things we’ve ever released. Co-released with Left Hand Label, not Dog Knights. I got one copy in this store and one on Bandcamp!!!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: KOMAROV = New live video from our UK besties!

2023 - 12 - 20 /// Lower Automation video + Gifts From Enola reveal #3+4

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: RATBOYS = I just found out about this Chicago indie rock band and this new album rules. Think a more accessible Wednesday crossed with Frankie Cosmos.
