MYSTIC 100’S from Washington State have maintained a cult following and underground existence since 2008.  Double Live! is their first live record, and features the band once again as a quartet (Alex Coxen, Abby Dahlquist, Joe Rutter, Charles Waring). It was captured in 2024 at two separate shows (Oakland & Philadelphia), unbeknownst to the band at the time.  Limited pressing of 500 on 140g vinyl with gatefold tip-on sleeve.

More than 20 years after recording their last record, Cough, Black Eyes returns with Hostile Design. The album is comprised of six all-new songs, written directly in the wake of the band’s April 2023 reunion shows.

Hostile Design was recorded at Tonal Park studios over three days, with Ian MacKaye resuming his role as producer and Don Godwin engineering. The instrumentation returns to Cough’s two drums, bass, guitar and sax lineup, but adds some fresh elements. Live multichannel dubbing, now a standard of their shows, has been integrated into the performances, as have electronic drum triggers and samples as well as the occasional bass clarinet passage. In the years since their initial dissolution, each member has pursued their own creative paths, including drone rock, avant techno, ambient, sonic collage, visual art, video work and more. In coming back together, the breadth of their collective practices are all integrated into the music.

The record is now available for pre-order on our website and Bandcamp page.

Today, you can listen to the new song "Pestilence" on Bandcamp. 

Please note that if you order any additional items along with this, the entire order will be shipped together on the release date.
