Bleakness – Words / Greed [7" Vinyl, A La Carte Records]

Product Description:

Punchy, paranoid, and pulsing with energy, Bleakness drops a sharp two-track blast of emotionally charged post-punk with Words / Greed, their 7" vinyl release via A La Carte Records. Fusing egg punk’s wiry urgency with a darkwave's icy depth, this release is a must-spin for fans of raw intensity with a gloomy edge.

Bleakness straddles genre lines with confidence: “Words” crackles with jittery rhythms and jagged riffs that recall early Devo crossed with Cold Cave, while “Greed” descends into moodier territory, its throbbing bassline and haunted vocals evoking echoes of The Sound or modern-day Spectres.

Pressed on red vinyl, this 7-inch is a short but fully immersive dive into Bleakness’s cold-hearted yet danceable aesthetic—perfect for collectors of underground post-punk, egg punk, or minimal synth crossover sounds.

Product Review (Store Voice):

“Bleakness deliver exactly what the name promises—tight, anxious post-punk with a bleak lyrical core. What sets this apart is how effortlessly they marry egg punk’s nervy attitude with the melodic melancholy of darkwave. ‘Words’ is twitchy and taut, while ‘Greed’ sinks into a shadowy pulsing groove that harkens back to Husker Du, a sound you won’t want to leave. It’s a quick listen, but every second matters. This is underground music done right—raw, danceable, and deeply human.”
