glitzy hard to pick between an answer and behind heat <3 Favorite track: An Answer.

⸸CoughCool⸸ A testament in darkness. Lonely & cold stark beauty. A nice punch of punk in the mix, warping synth... how can you not love this?
Sounds lovely on the needle 🪡
The diy aspect of these 2 releases are amazing IMHO. The lyric sheets are literally xeroxed. I feel like back in the day when there were fan clubs for bands & they'd send you stuff just like this, totally done by the band. But this is just Mark. Amazing one man project. Favorite track: Birthright.

derthlaf This is the music I need for today, perfect <3

post_earth This is an exorcism Favorite track: Turing Machine.

Squee Absolutely thrilled to get a physical copy of one of my fav records this year. A DIY triumph and a classic. Favorite track: Birthright.

about

THE MALL and FIXED GRIN RECORDS are proud to present to you, “ZONE":
7 tracks of Dark and Ethereal Mangled Dance Musik

After selling out of two pressings of their self-released tape, THE MALL’s debut "ZONE" has been re-mastered and is presented for the first time on vinyl. Buried vocals echo beneath the swirling delay oscillations, sullen pads, and thick bass synths pounding their single note rhythms into infinity. They're crying out in desperation; in frustration; in anger. As the synthesizers swell and fall in-and-out of tune, you can't help but succumb. And really, why fight it?

Third Pressing (11/22):
500 copies on Black vinyl
Housed in heavyweight 2-color offset printed sleeves
Includes lyric insert & 24" poster

Second pressing (05/21):
200 copies on Black vinyl
Housed in Black DJ sleeves
Black hand-stamped B-side label
Includes insert & lyric booklet

First pressing (02/21):
300 copies on Black vinyl
Housed in custom die-cut White DJ sleeves
Purple hand-stamped B-side label
Includes insert & lyric booklet

Can't listen w/o hearing Young Marble Giants, but a more nervous, taut take. All the tracks are great, but can't stop humming the title to myself. Josh Steichmann

A true masterpiece of music. I listen to this almost everyday and each time it manages to put me deep into my own thoughts. The best album of the post-punk genre by far. gardavex
