2025 - 07 - 24 /// Piri Reis out, Distro update + restocks, Shoganai is next!

The distro and restock update that was scheduled for this morning got pushed back to tomorrow (Friday July 25th) as we just couldn’t get it all ready in time. So here’s a list of what’s coming so you can prep. In this Canada/International store everything will be located in the “New Items/Specials” section (linked here) while the U.S. store will have it all in the “All” tab (linked here). Some products will only be in one store (as in some cases we only have one copy) so be sure to skip between the two stores if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

12”s: Afraid, Malisa Bahat, Øjne (Prima Che Tutto Bruci + Undici/Dodici), Pianos Become The Teeth, Coven, As Living Arrows, Ostraca (Eventualities + Disaster), NØ Man, Cages, Neboas, Yarostan, Put Purana + Tromblon, Potence, Linguaserpente, Life (demo two), Telos, Sacrofuoco, Noverte, Altair, A Flower Kollapsed, and Uragano

7”s: Crowning + Swallows Nest and Demersal + Regarding Ambiguity

Cassettes: Luca, Threeway x Salvinorin A, Beneath Moonlight, and Gelwaz

CD: Ekbom


Shoganai will be our next release on Tuesday July 29th via 53 cassettes, pictured below. 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. Fans of Nuvolascura, New Forms, Mahria, and Blind Girls will be all the fuck over this.


Piri Reis tapes for ‘Ritma’ came out and is already almost out, as we only took 30% of the run of 100 tapes. The 12”s never lasted so don’t expect these to be around for long, especially after they destroy New Friends Fest.

What’s next on ZBR? Well shit, I’m glad you asked.

July 30th we’ll be premiering the ZBR Fest 2025 video on Youtube so make sure you attend the first showing if you’re as keen as I am!

Avery Friedman released a live studio session for the song “New Thing” and you should definitely check it out. We’ve been talking to the plant about the 12” run, and they are behind as they’re waiting on the lacquer. We’ll keep you posted but hopefully they’ll be in-hand early August. Fingers crossed!

Dead Hour Noise are on tour! We’ve got just a handful of 12”s left and post-tour I reckon the band’ll be gettin’ low too!


Operation X-Ray played some bangers as per usual, including our very own Nuvolascura as well as Bok Suna, the latter of which Softseed Music has advance copy tapes for sale now via the bandcamp link below.


Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: xMISERYISABUTTERFLYx = The ultimate homies in Smush showed me this band. Very good screamo!

Victoria three-piece needed a second press of tapes (as did we) so those are out in the world and definitely won’t hang around long! New art color for the tapes, too. The bandcamp copies are gone but the links to our stores are on that page, and we got a few copies left there.
