Facsimile EP on limited edition “Giallo” Yellow vinyl!!

We made just 150 copies of this great release from Mononegatives on yellow pressed vinyl. Includes printed lyric / art insert sheet.

From Maximum RockNRoll: Dowd Records issues a limited release (150 copies pressed to yellow vinyl) of this prolific Canadian synth punk act’s 2021 cassette. The A-side features two tracks of clanging post-punk with a touch of post-hardcore at the edges, particularly in the guitar timbres. Imagine a cross between SERVOTRON and JAY REATARD at his most mechanical. Not bad. But this B-side is fantastic! The title cut sounds like DEVO teaming up with A FRAMES to cover one of the more tuneful tracks on WIRE’s 154 or something by GARY NUMAN—just an excellent mix of herky-jerk guitar interwoven with an assembly line rhythm section and soaring synth melodies. Also, the record as a whole just sounds great—it’s crisp in all the right places, the vocals are crystal clear and well-mixed, and the bottom end still really packs a wallop. Really handsome physical release, as well. All in all, no complaints!

From the band: This release is a reissue of the “Facsimile” tape from 2021. Dowd Records is putting it out on a nice yellow vinyl in an edition of 150 copies. 7” records are an excellent format music like ours and I am excited to get this release out. We got the audio mastered so it is going to sound a bit different than the tape Shit Squirt Records (Italy) put out. In honor of the Italian release we went with the “Giallo Yellow” colour scheme. Fun fact about this record: This is our first release as a four piece and the first all drum machine recording we have made public!

From me: These tracks are so awesome! It is Mononegatives showing a new side to their creativity. The records are being pressed by an amazing pressing plant here in the US and with the songs mastered for the vinyl… It sounds incredible!
