September 13, 2024 by David Norman

With Split Silk out in full (embeded above) next on deck for Tomb Tree is the Othiel / Palefade. split that we churned out 40 copies of in two days. 3 variants, diy as all hell. Here they are! Releases September 20th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. CDs will follow, likely in November.

As for ZBR, another friendly reminder that we’ll have the Hallam Foe one-sided 12” lathe EP for ‘Funkapokalips’ on September 17th. 25 black / 25 clear. All ass-kicking.

Operation X-Ray played a song from every label CanaDave is associated with. Very cool! Split Silk, Bloom Dream, and Leavs were featured in this 146th episode <3

Right in time for CanaDave to lose his shit (he just got the Emma Goldman LP masters and is trying to cope with it’s amazingness), Edie from Everything Remade interviewed Felix (guitar/vox) from the band. You are not ready. Minds blown early 2025.

2024 - 03 - 13 /// Little Big Stuff Thing this Saturday!

March 13, 2024 by David Norman

Okay so we’ve been hanging on to some backup copies in case the postal service fucked anyone, and as everything has arrived safely we can unlock those copies of very sold out stuff. On Saturday March 16th the Canada store will have their Little Big Stuff Thing, with the US version being held at the ZBR Fest 2024 Record Fair for those that miss out on the initial BST or are lucky enough to make the trek to rifle through the bins in person. This also enables people not attending the fest to actually snag something from this most recent Big Stuff Thing. Apart from the Test press raffle (info below) we’ll have Onewaymirror, Tristan Tzara handmades, Congratulations handmades, a single Senza, a few Blind Girls, Orchid 12”s, a swirled Gifts From Enola tape boxset, Euclid C Finder’s final cassette copy, a small stack of Burial Etiquette/Mis Suenos splits, a buncha screamo t-shirts, etc. This goes down on:

SATURDAY March 16th, 2024 @9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST

The Test press raffle product is live and closes at 9am PST when the Big Stuff Thing tab goes live, and includes shipping costs as if you don’t win a test I’ll just send you a ZBR 12”, therefore no one actually loses, you just might not win a test. This enables customers to pick up some rare shit too from the Little Big Stuff Thing and then I can refund your shipping difference if you’ve taken part in the test press raffle. Included are some test presses of records that won’t be out for months (Terry Green, Niboowin, Gossip, etc.)!

TEST PRESSES - (12")

CA$40.00

We got some test presses. Take one of your choice for just $40CAD aka less than $30US!!!

Release:

The U.S. is either out or down to single digit copies whilst this Canadian/International store has just a single copy in store with an additional single copy on Bandcamp, included are New Forms, Othiel, and Pettersson.

CanaDave’s 150th podcast is with Gxllium!. We released their split with Onewaymirror last month, with their debut album getting the cassette treatment next month, and the band is also coming to ZBR Fest 2024 to annihilate us all.

If you are in Germany or France you’ve got a few sick shows coming up for Tomb Tree’s very own Demersal (12” incoming this summer) alongside Kollapse. We’ve got some Demersal 7”s still in stock, jam/buy below!

Edhochuli’s live video on Studio E was trimmed down so I’ve linked the 33-minute set above, with the 12”LP ‘Higherlander’ embedded below.

We had one helluva a distro update on Friday with all of our ‘Totality’ and ‘Dance Tonight, Revolution Tomorrow’ selling out the first day. We have a limited number of ‘Chaos Is Me’ and ‘Gatefold’ still in stock, but remember that both updates we’ve had from these 12”s sold out quickly in the past, so I reckon they’ll be gone by March.

CA$35.00

OTHIEL ‘We Will Be Our Home‘ 12”LP (ZB329)

For fans of: Crowning, Caution Children, Eyelet, Gillian Carter, and Old Soul.

Pomona, California screamo band OTHIEL have been building momentum for more than five years, so the release of this debut 12”LP ‘We Will Be Our Home’ is a very big deal. Good news, it’s fucking amazing. 9 tracks of A+, drop-c skramz balancing gorgeous swings with abrasive/pummeling screaming and chugs in the vein of Crowning, Eyelet, and Gillian Carter. We made 200 copies but only have half of the copies, with the band taking the rest.

12”s /200 black. Includes one-sided insert and ZBR sticker. 9 tracks.

CA$32.50

OBROA-SKAI ‘Science Progresses One Funeral at a Time‘ 12”LP (ZB328)

For fans of: Svffer, Full Of Hell, and Rayleigh.

A visceral immersion in noise, hardcore, screamo, and who knows what other genres are mashed into the audio carnage that is OBROA-SKAI. After gaining a second guitarist the band incubated for years, sharpening the knife that is now set to find its way into your eardrums. The resulting 11 tracks weave a treacherous path that touch on political and social issues, incorporating more noise/mathematical wizardry and stellar production, thus encapsulating the band perfectly. This documentation can be purchased on eco-mix (green/blue) 12”s out of 100 from Zegema Beach Records.

12”s /100 eco-mix. Includes two-sided insert and ZBR sticker. 11 tracks.

Listen here:
https://zegemabeachrecords.bandcamp.com/album/science-progresses

The Ninehertz Podcast started their new episode off of Edhochuli’s new 12”LP ‘Higherlander’. Check that shit out and pick up a 12” and see them at ZBR Fest 2024. So much goodness.
