Last year, Washington band Lync returned to releasing music. A reissue of the band’s 1994 album, These Are Not Fall Colors, introduced new audiences to a classic. Now, the trio has announced a split 7″ with Pedro The Lion‘s David Bazan, out November 1, 2024 via Suicide Squeeze Records.

In addition to Lync’s original version of the song “B,” it features a cover from Bazan. The limited physical run will be printed on colored vinyl.

On the reimagining of the track, Bazan shares:

Lync struck me as so mysterious and infectious when i first listened in the 90s, three humans writing and playing at the edge of their collective consciousness, and listening again now, that feeling has grown exponentially. I’m beyond honored to contribute to this single release.

James Bertram of Lync also shares:

I’m not sure if there are many covers of lync songs out there. Sam’s vocals shred, and the push/ pull of the music can blur together at times, so I imagine it’s difficult to land on an approach. David’s version of this track is a great take, a really awesome minimal contrast to the original and so cool to hear. It’s flattering to be able to share a split release with PTL all these years later, and I think Sam would love it too.
