After several years of silence throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Ostraca returned in 2023 with their fourth full-length album, Disaster, the title of which comes from the antiquated, literal sense of the word - “a misalignment of the stars.” Inspired lyrically by Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet, Disaster was recorded by Danny Gibney in Harrisonburg, VA. The three-piece from Richmond, Virginia, used the pause to write new songs which now see the day of light in the form of a new album called "Disaster". These six songs are the perfect sequel to the 2018 LP "Enemy" and everybody's favorite album of the year 2017, "Last". "Disaster" gives us everything we expect from Ostraca: crushing screamo with ice-cold moments of calm as well as gut-wrenching outbursts.
