One year since the release of their remarkable LP ‘Dreams of Suffocation’ and a split with COMA REGALIA, Florida screamo band GILLIAN CARTER are back with an incredibly enrapturing co-release with Maryland act EYELET, whose excellent EP ‘Error(s)’ apparently did not reveal everything they are capable of. Where loads of classic and modern screamo bands wrap up their sadness in massive maelstroms of violent outbursts, this exceptional split explores the genre’ inherent melancholic and emotional facet more fully. Without losing the overwhleming, ferocious countenance.
“These two songs were recorded live, where we all got to stand in a circle, watching each other. Playing together for the first time as this lineup and in the same room to record. Everyone was grinning at each other in between moments of great concentration and suspense. Everything fell right into place in that room, and I will never forget the joy I experienced over what me and my brothers had accomplished together on that day. NEVER.” – Craig, EYELET
“Our 2 Gilly Jamz were written in 2014 & recorded in 2015. Eyelet is the homie & so is Colin Czerwiński & his artwork.” – Logan, GILLIAN CARTER
The split comes out on 500 7″ copies: 250 on pink and 250 on purple. The official release date is July 10th, 2017. Pre-orders are up now via Zegema Beach Records and I.Corrupt.Records. Santapogue Media and Puddlejumper Distro will provide their links soon.
