Escape the Compound

by Landowner

supported by

Mark William Pearson This is what music should sound like.

Tubuehlerosis Landowner truly have a plot of land in my mind. Another instant classic! Favorite track: Thousands of Years in Fast Forward.

dragic27 Another great release from Landowner 👍 Favorite track: Beyond the Darkened Library.

Daniel Taylor Straightforward, minimalist post punk. 4 excellent albums. Favorite track: Floodwatch.

Ned Bajic Tight, interlocking rhythms overlaid with compelling lyrics which sometimes feels like you’re stuck in a twilight zone episode makes Landowner one of the more interesting bands of today. Disturbing, uncomfortable, awkward, exhilarating, visionary!

year22 An insistent, never-ceasing barrage of investigations into the dark corners of the human psyche. Favorite track: Thousands of Years in Fast Forward.

What a fucking great punk album. So many layers and dynamic changes, from charging sing-alongs to swirling psychedelia. I love the whole vibe of this thing. andrewtherooster

Change Is Bad

The multi-talented make-up of this group makes Stuck one of the most exciting bands to emerge from Chicago’s post-punk scene today. Highly recommend adding this album to your collection and catching them live down the road. eraseher_

Hunger for a Way Out
by Sweeping Promises

supported by 82 fans who also own “Escape the Compound”

Packed with energy, and with an almost live sound, this is a great album. The rawness of the guitars and the vocals sit in between Indie and Punk, making for an album that engages and energises. mindshambles
