Ostraca "Eventualities"

LP - $17.25 / CASSETTE - $7.00
STREET DATE: 4/18/25
CAT#: VIS023
LABEL: Persistent Vision

For over a decade now, Richmond titans Ostraca have written works definitive of screamo as a punk subgenre. Their catalogue is deceptive in its relative brevity; Ostraca’s habit of offering songs in groups of three and six gives each track a specific and undeniable gravity. Of course, this is no steadfast rule; for Ostraca, the distinction between EP and LP is immaterial, much the way Loma Prieta contended two decades ago. In 2017, they released two songs on Yarrow, a split with Coma Regalia, Vril, and Untold Want, one of which has been re-recorded for "Eventualities".

After taking five years between "Enemy" in 2018, and "Disaster" in 2023, the trio of bassist Gus Caldwell, guitarist Brian Russo, and drummer John Crogan showed that Ostraca is an unflappable mainstay in the world of emotive post-hardcore that they inhabit. The drama and passion expected of Ostraca’s work is only magnified by the dynamic shifts in their writing, earmarked by the inclusion of other genres in their style, like crust, metal, and post-rock. Their aptitude for this demarcates them from the entirety of their peers. Ostraca builds on the same tradition as German greats June Paik, creating heart-wrenching atmospheres driven by melodies that oscillate between resolution and discordance.

"Eventualities" was recorded in 2024 and was engineered, mixed and mastered by Danny Gibney, who the band worked with on Disaster. Comes packaged in a matte, full color jacket with insert and limited colored vinyl.

La Quiete "La Fine Non è La Fine"

LP - $17.25 / CD - $7.00 / CASSETTE - $7.00

CAT#: VIS022
LABEL: Persistent Vision

25 years after the formation of Forlì, Italy’s legendary La Quiete, Persistent Vision are proud to reissue their full length album, 2004’s "La Fine Non è La Fine". Widely considered the most influential band of the European screamo movement, La Quiete plays, and indeed helped generate every stylistic component of the genre that has since been copied and reimagined by countless bands around the world. The dissonant guitar chords strummed at breakneck speed, panic attack vocals, blast beats and tuplet rhythms counterbalanced by dulcet, undistorted melodies are all represented in earnest on this towering LP.

Far from La Quiete’s sole release, "La Fine Non è La Fine" is the quintet’s only full length album amongst a slew of splits with other familiar names like Louise Cyphre, Phoenix Bodies, and The Apoplexy Twist Orchestra, as well as compilation appearances, and loose singles. Out of print for nearly 20 years, the iconic record was originally recorded in 2003, and previously released in small pressings on Heroine Records, React With Protest, and Gasping For Breath Records.

"La Fine Non è La Fine" was remastered in December 2024 by Will Killingsworth. Persistent Vision presents the vinyl reissue in a gatefold jacket and limited colored vinyl, along with limited CD and cassette versions. An essential for any devotee of the genre, this long celebrated record has already been a long sought after piece of punk history.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Raid Aereo Sul Paese Delle Farfalle
02. Metempsicosi Del Fine Ultimo: Nevrastenica Oscillazione Fra Poli Estremi
