Denton, Texas' PARTY HATS sent me their album a few months ago and asked if I would be interested in releasing it. Halfway through the first song I made two decisions. First, this is fucking sick and I want to release this. Second, it's a bit twinkly for Zegema Beach so it'd fit nicely in the vaster arena of conglomerated sub-genres known as Tomb Tree. We released them on March 18th, 2022 and immediately sold more than half of our copies. It's a very unique, enjoyable album that keeps impressing me the more I listen to it, which tends to be rare these days and definitely a feat worth noting for the band <3
Oh right, what's it sound like? Well, to do that let's travel back in time and visit 2013 David Norman. Just step in to my time machine here and if - oh! Watch your step! Okay take a seat and let's get this shitshow on the road.
2013 DAVE: WOAH WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!
2022 Dave: Chill-scene, my dude. Just here to give you a good old reset. Aka, let's talk screamo.
2013 DAVE: Screamo? Hell yeah. I like screamo.
2022 Dave: I know you do numbnuts, but I heard you're a little iffy on the twinkles.
2013 DAVE: Duuuuuuude I got twinkles coming outta my ass I could literally put on a shitshow.
2022 Dave: Yeah I know...it's a little...uhhhhh, saturated at the moment. But don't fret! Just keep an open ear even if you see "twinkles" or something.
2013 DAVE: No way, man. I'm so sick of Non-Denominational Emo and The Hotelier and American Football. Nuh-uh.
2022 Dave: Hear me out, dipshit. You like Native?
2013 DAVE: Well...yeah.
2022 Dave: And This Town Needs Guns?
2013 DAVE: Uhhh, yes.
2022 Dave: What about Seyarse?
2013 DAVE: Of fucking course.
2022 Dave: Then shut your pie-hole and go listen to Party Hats.
2013 DAVE: Who?
2022 Dave: Oh, right. They don't exist yet. But they will, David. They wiiiiiiiiiilllllllllll...
2013 DAVE: Allllllllllllrighty then!
Wasn't that fun? Informative? What? You need more? Bam! First off, there are no chugs or metallic hardcore on this album. This is shrieky, twinkly emo that falls somewhere between The Reptilian's fun-lovin' noodle-fest and the raw power of clean guitars ala Wet Petals. The band dropped Seyarse as an influence and during the faster "screamo" parts it is definitely noticeable, although I get an early Terry Green vibe from these songs as well and think members of said band would eat this particular record for breakfast. There is a lot of variation on the album as tracks such as "Tearjerker", "I trapped a fly in the fridge", and "Pinch Hit" go big, varied, and feel like a wonderful journey, while "Box Cutter Pt.2", "The future ain't what it used to be", and "It's Not The Heat, It's The Humility" are more straight to the point, aggressive, and chaotic.
