The Death of a Party are back with not just new music, but FREE new music. This time around the boys have decided to skip the tedious music industry promotion cycle altogether and simply give away their distinct brand of gothy post-punk to anyone who wants to listen.

Red Meadows is a new EP that Death of a Party recorded and mixed themselves in their Oakland studio. The EP also includes a series of remixes from artists like Scott Blonde of the Lovemakers and San Francisco electro outfit Lazer Sword.

All of the original tracks and remixes are available for download below. For those of you out there who planning to burn all the tracks on to an actual CD, we’ve also included a link to download the album artwork.

More than two years in the making, the debut album from The Death of a Party has finally arrived. With countless shows under their belt, The Oakland quartet has harnessed the manic intensity of their live show and infused it into this semi-concept album featuring 11 new tracks of goth-tinged post-punk.

The Rise and Fall of Scarlet City was recorded in Oakland by Ricardo Esway (Militant Children’s Hour). The next chapter in The Death of a Party saga has arrived, so make sure to grab yourself a copy.

This EP marks the debut of two very important entities - Oakland quartet The Death of a Party and new label Double Negative Records. After tearing through the ranks of the Oakland warehouse circuit, The Death of a Party now bring their gothy post-punk stylings to your stereo. With a sound reminiscent of legendary bands like Bauhaus and Gang of Four, The Death of a Party also harnesses the energy of present-day underground favorites like the Blood Brothers.

Recorded by Skot B. of the Phantom Limbs and Black Ice, The Shame of Sweet captures the band at their best. With four tracks of angular guitars, haunting vocals and bass lines just funky enough to get the average scenester dancing, The Shame of the Sweet is poised to put the Oakland underground on the musical map.
