Scattered Ashes Unveil ‘Parallel Lines’ EP

Rising Dublin post-punks, Scattered Ashes, have released their brand new EP, Parallel Lines, today on digital and limited run ‘blood red’ vinyl formats via Fatal Vision Records, the three-track EP sees the Irish quartet stepping out of the shadows with a clutch of new material, plus a maverick reimagining of Love Is Not An Option by Wastefellow. Funneling the stark intensity of Interpol or Joy Division, via the renegade ferocity of Bauhaus or Gang of Four, Parallel Lines finds the band in ruthless, incisive form. 

“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 matches 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.

Parallel Lines can be streamed and purchased here and pre-ordered on vinyl via Bandcamp
