The band is excited to announce the release of “Sanguine Truth," their second 10-song full-length album, on Christina Billotte's Ixorstix Records and produced by Fugazi's Guy Picciotto. These songs were composed and recorded between 2004 and 2019, at Inner Ear Studios with Don Zientara and at Figure 8 Studios in Brooklyn with Eli Crews. Spread out between three of the western world’s largest cities, the band members would regroup periodically to add a song here and there. Although the songs were written over a long span of time about various events and themes over the years, many of the album's songs appear particularly relevant to recent times . For example, the lyrics for “Frequency of Fear” were written and recorded in January of 2016, when there was not more than an inkling of the political insanity that would be realized over the next several years. The instrumental “17 Year-Old Locust” was written in 2004, the year of the same locusts that spawned 2021’s Brood X. Then, “Palindrome” is a reminiscence of a friend who decided to depart this world too soon, a situation that seems to be more prevalent than ever in this day and age. This is on clear vinyl.

We have copies of the New Freedom Sound - Eight Freedoms Double LP on Blue marbled vinyl. The vinyl is limited to 300 copies. 

Eight Freedoms gathers the first completed works in an ongoing series composed by Zach Barocas. Initially devised from beats and recurring vocal harmonies, these pieces grow according to their own perceived need, inspired along the way by the contributions and interpretations of New Freedom Sound’s collaborators.

The musicians on this record are:

Zach Barocas: drums, percussion, voices, claps

Mark Cisneros: tenor saxophone, bass clarinet, flute, trombone, percussion

J. Robbins: piano, electric piano, organ

Gordon Withers: cello

Lenny Young: oboe

Continuals are three human friends who have been in a bunch of other bands before this one. Darren Zentek plays drums. Michael Honch plays bass. Ryan Nelson plays guitar and "sings.” We have a limited amount of their Flexi record for sale.
