Today we get to finally talk about a release we've been working on for a while – Unconditional Arms's Live Album/ Film Live at Santo. It's our first foray into a live release, a Blu-ray, and full-length film. We couldn't be more excited for everyone to see it though! We'll be releasing it on October 23rd, but for now, check out the trailer below:
More info:
On July 17th 2015, experimental post-rockers Unconditional Arms performed two sets encompassing their thus far short, yet prolific run. Pulling from their catalog of various 7” singles, tapes, and the 12”LP that served as the impetus for the band, Unconditional Arms performed to an intimate audience at Santo Studios, in their hometown of Oakland, CA.
Weaving through their equally emotive but ultimately disparate releases, the band effortlessly recounts the last two years with eight songs over two sets. From the subtle, dreamy grooves of “Haunt", to the quiet, delicate whispers of “Conscious Whirr", and the noisy and absolutely crushing crescendos of “No Nerves", Live at Santo is Unconditional Arms at their best – live and unabridged.
Filmed and recorded by some of the best audio and video engineers in the Bay Area and LA, Live at Santo is both a live film, and album. The first of it’s kind for Unconditional Arms and The Native Sound. Live at Santo will be available as a digital download on October 23rd.
Pre-order Live at Santo in any of the following formats:
– MP3 / Video
– Bundles (including past releases from Unconditional Arms)
Unconditional Arms will be playing a record release show for the album at Bottom of the Hill in San Fransisco on October 20th with Isles and Covet. More info here.

The good people over at Noisey are exclusively premiering "Candy Ghost", the second single from Threading's forthcoming You Are Never Enough EP today!
They call it "ultra lush and enrapturing music", while noting that it "isn't the kind of pop shoegaze in vogue right now, instead becoming the kind of dissasociative mix that sets the listener apart from what's going on outside of the headphones. It's a mesmerizing experience, before the band finally lets you go in the apex of the song."Threading's new EP You Are Never Enough is out September 18th on limited edition cassette tapes, as well as digitally. Pre-order the tapes and MP3 here.
