GONE IS GONE If Everything Happens For A Reason...Then Nothing Really Matters At All Vinyl LP

Troy Sanders, Tony Hajjar, Mike Zarin, and Mastodon's Troy Sanders walking into a studio together sounds like the setup to a joke. The punchline is a record that genuinely doesn't care what genre it belongs to.

Gone Is Gone is the kind of supergroup that actually earns the label. Hajjar's drumming is the backbone of At The Drive-In's most unhinged moments, Sanders brings the low-end weight of Mastodon, and together they've made something that drifts between post-rock atmospherics, heavy alternative, and desert-bruised psych without ever losing the thread. This 2020 full-length is a headphones record, a late-night record, a record that rewards patience and punishes background listening. The title alone is doing philosophy homework and the music backs it up.

Vinyl LP, gatefold sleeve, 2020 pressing, USA origin.
