Southern Lord Records

sunn O))) will soon be in Europe!
Immersive sound-volume envelopment.
maximum volume yields maximum results!

NOT TO BE MISSED!

SUNN O))) will perform as Shoshin (初心) Duo, founders/guitarists Stephen O’Malley & Greg Anderson will perform as a duo immersed in profound valve amplification, spectral harmonics, distortion and volume—pure and primaeval riffs of temporality, massively heavy structures of sound pressure. Witness a live experience of physical sound, fog and glacial maximalism.

We hope to meet you there… we hail you for your interest and support.

Southern Lord is very pleased to announce that “Dead End Pools”, the new single from the forthcoming full-length Forever, I’ve Been Being Born from Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter, along with its companion video, can be heard and seen everywhere

About "Dead End Pools", Jesse Sykes comments;



“Dead End Pools was written as a love song, a testament to the "endurance test" that is my musical partner Phil Wandscher and our relationship. I always say, we share the same heart.



There was a documentary airing on PBS one night, where they were talking about Pacific salmon spawning in "dead end pools", before swimming up stream to die. I grabbed my guitar... At the time, Phil was living out of his van, and dare I say, I was holding onto my life and to our musical “apparatus", for dear life. I think I may have written from the perspective of being dead already, because a part of me was at that time. It had been a tough decade for us both. I wanted to pay homage to the notion that you are what you leave behind. In this case a song. The struggles are just part of the eternal cacophony of existence.



The divine spark, the love, the friendship, always overcame the darkness and difficulties of those days and continues to nourish us. Despite ourselves, we were once again saved through song. Whatever that entity that lives inside music "is", it found us again and led us back to each other and ourselves.”



About the video, Sykes adds;

“The video was shot by our friend, musician Mike Antone, who lives and grew up in the mountains and rivers of North Bend, Washington. He brought us into the world of Rattlesnake Lake. A town had once thrived where we now frolic in this footage, that had been overcome by a massive flood at the turn of the last century, most of the building's remnants submerged beneath the lake. But the mighty tree stumps remain and seem so alive -- ancient and magnificent wonders. I love how the video brings them back to life as they are witnessing us, while we search for each other among the ruins.”

It’s our honor to present the brand new album by Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter “Forever, I’ve Been Being Born”, the bands first since 2011's "Marble Son", and the band's 5th since 2002. A suite of masterful folk-rock songs, emotive songs from an open heart, dwelling in a brightness yet deep in the ethereal and melancholic. In the making for ten years, the album centres around the power of Jesse's incredible voice, which has never been more beautiful, evocative, and hauntingly intimate. Electric guitarist Phil Wandscher's playing masterfully frames these songs with classic and fractured tones, a duet of vulnerability and strength frequently on the edge.

Listen to (and see the video) the first single “Gentle Chaperone” featuring Marissa Nadler.

Released by Ideologic Organ in Europe/UK/Asia/South America.
Released by Southern Lord in North America and Australasia.

DEAF CLUB - We Demand a Permanent State of Happiness

NEW DEAF CLUB VIDEO VIA SOUTHERN LORD RECORDINGS CHANNEL!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGE4z...

Deaf Club is announcing the release of their second LP, We Demand a Permanent State of Happiness, to be released by Southern Lord and Three One G Records on Sept. 19th

Deaf Club continues their scathing indictment of society with their second full-length album, being released on Southern Lord and Three One G: We Demand a Permanent State of Happiness. Fast wit and faster blast beats are mainstays of the band, but there is also a sense of growth. This is their strongest songwriting yet, incorporating more hooks and good old-fashioned moments to mosh while staying as weird as ever. Raygun guitar riffs and unexplainable sounds abound. Justin Pearson, Brian Amalfitano, Scott Osment, and Jason Klein excel at inciting emotion in the face of apathy and voicing disgust amid a world rapidly burning.

We Demand a Permanent State of Happiness was recorded and edited by Alex Estrada at Pale Moon Ranch and Luke Henshaw at Penguin Studio. Mixed by Daniel Schlett. Mastered by Nathan Joyner. Pressed on three different limited edition color vinyl variants, released by Three One G and Southern Lord.
