Scattered Ashes Announce New EP ‘Parallel Lines’

Dublin post-punks Scattered Ashes follow the success of previous single, Love Is Not An Option, with news of a brand new EP, Parallel Lines, that will be released on the 21st May via Fatal Vision on digital and limited run blood red vinyl formats. The three track EP sees the Irish quartet stepping out of the shadows with a clutch of new material, plus a maverick reimagination of Love Is Not An Option by Soft Boy Record‘s Wastefellow.

“We wanted to release a real statement of intent with this EP. Art above all else is what binds us together and managing to document that on record is something we’ll forever be grateful for. We have crafted something that portrays loss, love and doubt whilst maintaining its vigor of spirit. This is an insight into the world we inhabit.”

Scattered Ashes match aggressive sonic textures with a strict sense of space, created by urgent guitar stylings and prophetic vocals. You can hear their influences, but the product is entirely their own. From the abstract to the oppressive, the band occupy a considerably darker territory to most of their contemporaries; consistently defying expectations in their bid to take post-punk back to its murkier roots.
