The romanticization of life’s simpler things always leads to trouble, and perhaps that’s why Floridian multi-instrumentalist Logan Rivera lets that fact explode, verbatim, late in his latest catharsis. The track the hard truth gets shrieked over, “Rotting,” is incredibly urgent in its instrumentation. Guitars twitch and unravel over drums which threaten to decay to nothing more than brittle shrapnel. Welcome to Dreams of Suffocation, an album in which everything is laid out as it seems: frightening, direct and horrifically, painfully real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo characterize Gillian Carter as another tally mark on a scorecard riddled with post-hardcore emotional portraits underestimates its thematic variety. Rivera showcases what some might consider an incongruous harmonica talent on “Sparks to the Sky,” where its downtrodden, prison-cell delivery is unleashed after a menacing and relentless examination of human want. It’s through destruction a deeper melodic core is crafted. From sheer power comes a more fragile center. Herein lies the boxing match which coarses through Suffocation without much hesitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn “This Title Means Nothing,” Tony Oriza’s frenetic yet methodical percussive ability follows a letter of resignation. The measured, but haphazard delivery caps off the track with ease, so as Rivera cries, “the truth is that i don't finish anything that i start,” his admission of defeat seems to whimper away from power. The line which follows is more aware of Gillian Carter’s full-band assault: “my abilities put up a good fight.” Despite some personal and lyrical anguish, this is a document put forth by a tightly-constructed project only slightly hindered by its topical distress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRivera composed this record in the wake of loss. Dreams of Suffocation stands as an auditory dedication to his late dog Mazy. Only one track really broadcasts itself as an eulogy, the interlude “Rest in Peace.” Underscored by Oriza’s watery organ chords, this dirge holds no stanzas hostage, but instead lets Rivera’s repeated guitar swells wash over the crushing absence of words. As the penultimate track we’re offered here, it seems to be the perfect opposition to its follower, “Discouragement (Better Luck Next Year).” Over standard-grade erratic percussion and equally fiery production, Rivera exclaims over a stubborn guitar trickling, “I’ve willingly given away everything for this \u0026amp; now there's nothing to show for it.” While the object of his claim is vague, the proof intended for it is clear. Gillian Carter’s latest full-length is a perfect swan song for a bygone friend. What Rivera has given is everything this two-piece could want to show -- brilliant, heartbreaking songwriting ransacked by dismay -- to portray how deeply this parting glance needed to be extended. - James Cassar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded, mixed, and mastered by Kris Hilbert at Legitimate Business (Advent, The Body, Torch Runner)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCo-release with Dog Knights Productions (European fans, please order through them).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skeletal Lightning","offers":[{"title":"Agent Orange LP","offer_id":32697743886,"sku":"635409755529","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Purple Rain LP","offer_id":32697743950,"sku":"635409755529","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Dark Red Tape","offer_id":32697744014,"sku":"642709965473","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1145\/8506\/products\/Gillian-Carter-Dreams-of-Suffocation-Cover-Art.jpg?v=1482360460"},{"product_id":"566448-knola-to-the-rhythm-lp","title":"Knola - To The Rhythm","description":"\u003cp\u003eKnola is a collective of four long-time friends hailing from four different states and featuring members of William Bonney, XERXES, Midwest Pen Pals, and The Exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eInstead of focusing on the heavier music that has surrounded their past, Knola is a much more refined band with a modern twist on emo.

In the midst of a four-year bout with his major depression, he was working his way through the series of poems that would culminate in this album—all of which also constituted his capstone project for a master’s in literary studies and confessional poetry. He was aiming to discover a language of process that would lead toward preservation rather than annihilation, learning hands-on, not only what preservative writing is, but also how to reorient creative work to better engage with and project hope. Being the person you can live with, it turns out, is a recursively creative endeavor, an on-going challenge, requiring choice and assimilation. Dealing with mental health disorders particularly requires regular self-renewal: the recurring epiphany of interacting constructively with the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile on the surface \u003ci\u003eOn Days Soon to Pass\u003c\/i\u003e confronts loss, fear, anxiety, and depression as often as it does love and joy, ultimately it presents a non-linear depiction of Bean’s on-going battle with the prospect of suicide. The first track, “Archibald Street,” is one starting point, but “All At Once,” at the end of the record, is another—the series of events in between shift in time, even within the songs, reflecting the evolution of subjective experience. Now complete, \u003ci\u003eOn Days Soon to Pass\u003c\/i\u003e finds him on another side of all of this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBean was stultified when he first noticed that these pieces were presenting as suicide songs. It was 2012, just after the release of his first LP, \u003ci\u003eLonging\u003c\/i\u003e, and fearful, he stopped writing entirely. More than a year passed between penning the first songs for \u003ci\u003eOn Days Soon to Pass\u003c\/i\u003e before beginning his master’s degree. It took another year for him to start writing creatively again—he was inspired by an idea that grew from his studies: the way fear and art can feed one another, “The object of fear must be objectified,” noted filmmaker Stan Brakhage, who used his greatest fears to identify the issues he addressed in his most powerful films. Bean spent the following year bringing light to what he feared most: loss—the death of his dog, Willow; the death of his close friend and band-mate, Chris Parmelee; one of his own near-death experiences, the one that caused him to want to live. Penetrating all of this, he found love. The overriding theme of the album is, “if you know me, will you still love me? Which leads to the realization that the \u003ci\u003eyou\u003c\/i\u003e Bean repeatedly refers to has been there all along, standing beside him when he writhed as well as when he flexed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo understand this record is to look at its dark, dense surface matter, and see beyond it to the beacon that is love; it is to recognize that functioning in the face of fear is to strive to be fully human; it is finding a way to truly say \u003ci\u003eI want to live,\u003c\/i\u003eeven recognizing the relentlessness of the battle.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEuropean customers can purchase the album \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/eu.skeletallightning.com\/\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Skeletal Lightning","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl LP","offer_id":32697760014,"sku":"SL-047-LP-BLACK","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":32697760078,"sku":"SL-047-CD","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Hand-Painted Tape","offer_id":32697760142,"sku":"SL-047-TAPE","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1145\/8506\/products\/Tyler-Daniel-Bean-On-Days-Soon-To-Pass-Black-Vinyl.jpg?v=1692981984"},{"product_id":"579167-tawny-peaks-tawny-peaks-tape-csd","title":"Tawny Peaks - Tawny Peaks","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter selling out a small run of tapes the year of its initial release, New Jersey indie rock outfit Tawny Peaks' self-titled debut full length is back in print for the first time in years on a special limited edition Cassette Store Day pressing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConsisting of Charlie Perris (vocals), Molly Grund (vocals), Jonah Fried (bass, vocals), Sam Skinner (guitar), and Dexter Loos (drums), the band's debut album (recorded and produced by Skinner) showcased strong song-writing chops in the vein of American Football and Pedro The Lion, with the poise of Piebald and heart of The Promise Ring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe band went on to release one final album before calling it quits in 2014.

There's always something buzzing from the amps in a row home basement, another voice waiting to be unleashed from its shell.

Verbilla does take cues from Ewald's notes from the midnight scenes at Drexel University, but adapts the playbook to create a more literary angle. Songs about red cups and frat boys nursing kegs spill into one another without pauses, like a self-conscious beer-sloshing at a basement party. Sofia's steady register anchors the madness, while four short bursts of contemplation - labeled \"vignettes\" in the track listing - measure the pace of emotional fever. Verbilla does her own milemarking, too, where \"Jenkintown-Wyncote\" closes distance between two people with steady guitar percolation and regional rail, only for \"Parking Lot\" to warm with anxious closeness and explode under the pressure of rattling notes which wander away as fast as they're welcomed. The richness and power of the instrumentals spiraling beneath Sofia's bell-like vocals can be best distilled in a line repeated through Nothing Special like a wide-eyed mission statement: \"I think I might need you.\" Harmony Woods is as much about the parts as it is the whole, a unit built and bred by the lesser-known landmarks it charts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart concept album and part meditation on the human spectrum of love – through mental hurdles, interpersonal health, and beyond –Nothing Special knows what it wants to be and where it best thrives: while looking inward, outwardly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- James Cassar\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEuropean customers can purchase the album \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.plastichead.com\/label\/skeletal-lightning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skeletal Lightning","offers":[{"title":"White Vinyl LP","offer_id":31678509252670,"sku":"653233963514","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pink Vinyl LP","offer_id":19984698245182,"sku":"653233963514","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1145\/8506\/products\/SL-080_2.jpg?v=1692981796"},{"product_id":"harmony-woods-make-yourself-at-home","title":"Harmony Woods - Make Yourself At Home","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0MqlFgFDO63KJuBPv5Yic2\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSofia Verbilla wrote “Ghosts” as the first song populating Harmony Woods, a project named for a sleepy Delaware town but informed by crucial junctures in her nearby Philadelphia.

The fulcrum point between bliss and disaster pivots on “That’s Okay,” where empty reassurances turn to resignation as the arrangement splinters open.
