exclusive album premiere

LARRY RECORDS


     I am fucking ecstatic to be the one bringing you the exclusive first premiere of the entire 7" 4-Way split featuring four of the hottest screamo bands around. Larry Records had this to say about its origin:

"This split was heavily inspired by the 4 way split series ZBR did a few years ago. I wanted to take my 4 favorite new screamo bands and throw'em together for a super split. I’m very happy it worked out, and maybe I’ll do a second volume if you guys like it!"

You heard it! Pick this sucker up so we can get another incredible 4-Way Larry split 7". In a few weeks @milkcrate_merch will be doing t shirts too!

12" Split breakdown: 900 copies total
-200 on half neon violet half black (vs self)
-200 on half neon green half black (knumears)
-200 on half neon yellow half black (catalyst)
-200 on half neon pink and half black (party hats)
-100 on black wax with an alternative cover (larry exclusive / pre-order here after 12pm EST!!!)



CATALYST "Yesterday's Apology"
KNUMEARS 
"no count"
VS SELF 
"tide and swell"
PARTY HATS 
"Today's For Sale"

     CATALYST kicks this thing off with the exceptional "Yesterday's Apology", which carries an air of impatience before sliding nicely into a groove section followed by some dark-ass panic chords and a spoken word section, as well as mixtures of the aforementioned styles. KNUMEARS is next and their pretty lengthy jam of "no count" clocks in at 4:07 and is the heaviest/fastest song on the split. The song creates an excellent mood before catapulting into what is almost a mixture of Senza and Ostraca, I shit you not, and it is glorious. VS SELF begins the second half with arguably their strongest song to date, melding together D'Amore-esque screamo with the emo noodlings of The Exploration. Their grasp of making the softer stuff pop whilst continuing to take the sound into darker territory is very fun to watch in realtime. Closer "Today's For Sale" by PARTY HATS also falls into the noodlier category, but goes both more ramen and screamier than the splits previous band, teetering between the two extremes and showing off why they are playing ZBR Fest 2024.
