* PREORDER * ADDED DIMENSIONS - s/t LP

* PREORDER * expected to arrive next week

Highly recommended. And when Jay Hinman writes you up, smart folk take notice.

"Added Dimensions’ short and aggressive pure-DIY songs then were particularly influenced, and still are to some extent, by The Urinals and Wipers. Everton’s themes centered around hating her job, being depressed, the indignities of masking and how exhausting it is/was, drugs (“Default Mode”), hating the music industry (“Wirey”), and social media/internet bullshit (“You Got My Number”). Themes everyone can rally around!

HoZac is now bringing out Added Dimensions’ earliest recordings on vinyl because, bless ‘em, that’s what HoZac does. The A-side here is the original 2022 tape, and the flip’s got demos and even a Blowdryer practice recording of top track “Default Mode”. You’re likely to find yourself extremely compatible with Added Dimensions in this full-length, aurally pleasing form." – Jay Hinman

The following was written about excellent previous release, Jane From Preoccupied America. One copy in stock.

"Some tracks spread indie pop sweetness over primitive punk (imagine Tender Trap backed by Buck Biloxi), not unlike a facade you put up to avoid fully crumbling into despair after witnessing another day of atrocities.

Other tracks eschew melodicism in favour of something more akin to Wire’s brash matter of factness multi-tracked until reaching a Swell Maps-esque DIY wall of sound, reflecting a more measured approach you might need to adopt to navigate some acute crisis - focused and pragmatic, but ultimately a little surreal. It’s a record that celebrates living by virtue of existing, which, really, is all any of us can do. - Alex Howell / Garbage in My Heart\

Grab the Graphic Violets LP on Hozac too - featuring Sarah's husband Rob. It's very good!
