Country: USA 
Genre: Hardcore, Punk, Noise, Experimental
Label: Sargent House
Tracks: 12
Length: 36.10'

ULTRAPOP is The Armed’s fourth full-length album and first since 2018’s Only Love. The Armed expanded the hardcore/screamo footprint of their band’s first two records into a kind of electro-pop-metal that’s harsh but hooky, and charmingly chaotic. With its pedal to the metal from start to finish, Ultrapop is a master class in making abrasive music sound incredibly appealing, a la Fucked Up’s epic punk operas or Deafheaven’s shimmering black metal.

(Press Note)

*Ultrapop is really refreshing!  Really awesome forward-thing experimental hardcore/punk that refuses to deny being pigeonholed.  Fans of Ink And Dagger, Thee Rise, and Shape Of Punk era Refused take note!  Ultrapop was released via Sargent House records on April16th, 2021.

(U.S.)Jaye Jayle-Prisyn LP (2020)

Country: USA
Genre: Lo-Fi, Indie Rock, Experimental
Label: Sargent House 
Tracks: 10
Length: 36.30'

Beginning as a flurry of 7” singles housed in bare-bones dust jackets, Jaye Jayle has evolved into a captivating persona alterna for the Louisville-based singer-guitarist Evan Patterson. Imbuing negative space with hallucinatory mantras, Patterson has embraced his strengths as a storyteller while trekking into thickets of unmarked sonic terrain. With his cohorts Todd Cook on bass, Neal Argabright on drums, and Corey Smith on auxiliary instrumentation, Jaye Jayle unfurls a tapestry of neo-folk economy, krautrock-esque repetition, skid row’s darkest blues, Midwestern indie rock’s nihilism, and Tangerine Dream’s analog oscillations.

Jaye Jayle's newest record Prisyn is out now on all platforms. Prisyn’s ten tracks are composites of various snapshots of Evan Patterson’s three-month tour, with the music taking shape on one leg of the journey and the lyrical components coming from some other moment on the road. Having partnered with Ben Chisholm as collaborator and producer, they created an electronic album completely unlike anything else from the fever dream blues of Jaye Jayle.

(Press Note)

*Wow.  Prisyn is the latest solo album from Jaye Jayle, A.K.A. (Evan Patterson from Young Widows).  Prisyn features ten tracks of dark, moody, and foreboding lo-fi indie rock that could easily be the sound track for a David Lynch or Cohen Brothers movie.  Seriously, Prisyn makes for an awesome listen and definitely should not be missed.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!
