North Carolina post-hardcore band, HOLY FIGURES, continue to demonstrate the magical balance between harmony and heavy. After the release of "Thanataphobia" in 2021 the band set out to create a set of songs that continued to showcase their tight musicianship, impeccable production, and subconscious lyricism. The result is "New Superstitions". The EP single also features the band's take on the classic track "Savory" by Jawbox (digital only).

"New Superstitions" is being pressed on limited 7" lathe cut records. The physical release excludes Jawbox's "Savory" (only available digitally).

Lathe Cut Records are made one-at-a-time, in real time, by a real person using an experimental process and 70 year old technology. It is not a pressed record and may have slightly more surface noise or an occasional light distortion in some frequencies, and may sound somewhat different than the original master. The volume will also be a little lower than a modern “post-loudness-war” record, so pump up the volume. It won’t be audiophile, but it ought to be listenable and sound pretty good considering the circumstances of its’ birth. It might also require tonearm and anti-skate adjustment in order to track correctly due to the hard plastic having slightly shallower grooves than a traditional record.
