bumping this once

Debut LP from Olympia's Clayface, available now for pre-order from Total Negativity synopsis: Every once in awhile you hear a record and know it is the record someone has been planning to make for a long time. Clayface’s Sister is Dead is one of those records. The Olympia band has been the brainchild of Jacob Estep for over four years, playing local shows here and there and cycling through various lineups, developing and growing into the sound that is in full display on Sister is Dead, their debut LP and first official release. Not post-punk, not dark, cold, or new-wave, just goth - plain and simple. Early Cure is the obvious comparison, masterfully combining the bitter, violent sadness of Pornography (in the album’s title track) and isolated loneliness of Faith (in its closing track, The Memorial). But far from remaining trapped in the worship of the classics, Sister is Dead has a unique sound that could only emerge from the rainy gloom of Olympia washington, where mournful dreariness emanates amidst epic beauty. Clayface delivers a powerful, story-telling concept album, replete with tragic, beautiful lyrics and instrumental motifs that carry their weight from song to song, building a tapesterial, crushing mass directly on the listener’s soul. listen here: https://clayfaceolympia.bandcamp.com/ pre-order here: http://totalnegativity.storenvy.com/products/18575992-clayface-sister-is-dead-lp

My copies are down to single digits so order em from Nervous Nelly while you can. Repress forthcoming I guess!

G.L.O.S.S. is still really mad, about shit that really matters. In Trans Day of Revenge, they tear down pacifism in the face of state violence, transmisogyny, and respectability politics, all in five tracks that will leave your heart pounding with joy and rage. This is for all the trans punks wanting more, six minutes that allows us to envision an alternate future and “weaponize our alienation.” Searing riffs, raw vocals, d-beats. Flippers fuck off.Stream: https://girlslivingoutsidesocietysshit.bandcamp.com/releases [girlslivingoutsidesocietysshit.bandcamp.com] » Buy from Total Negativity (Olympia): http://totalnegativity.storenvy.com [totalnegativity.storenvy.com] » Buy from Nervous Nelly (Boston): http://nervousnelly.storenvy.com/ [nervousnelly.storenvy.com] » Buy from Pansy Twist (Canada): https://pansytwistdistro.cashmusic.org [pansytwistdistro.cashmusic.org] » Buy from Sabotage (Europe): http://sabotagerecords-shop.net [sabotagerecords-shop.net] » Europeans are encouraged to order from Sabotage Records, who is doing a European pressing (if it is not up yet, it will be later today).Canadians are encouraged to order from Pansy Twist Distro.
