A cut above from Melbourne’s visceral post-punk band Total Control. Typical System, their second LP, was written, recorded, created from 2012-2014. This modern masterpiece, responsible for influencing so many of your favorite records, has been out of print since 2020 but now its back! Total Control emerged from Australia’s dynamic punk scene in ’08, releasing a succession of 7”s that developed from an aggressive post-punk band sound to studio forays into electronic forms from minimal wave to house. Their debut LP, Henge Beat, was commended as one of the few records released in 2011 that evaded the ease of classification and competent tribute act status of most modern bands.Typical System develops on the incongruent demands of their debut LP and ensuing releases, a further development on their continually evolving sound. 2026 pressing: 1,000 copies on black 150gr vinyl housed in a 24pt jacket with huge double sided newsprint poster included. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Mikey Young. Lacquers cut by JJ Golden. Art by Bart De Baets.
