Today is the day!

After two singles, “Mass Relay” and “Crimson Me,” S(O)LIS (@solis.relay) have finally released their debut EP, (O), on digital streaming platforms and cassette. This also marks Marathon Recordings’ very first physical release.

A little story behind this one.

Almost two years ago, Rafi sent us a few snippets of S(O)LIS, back when the songs didn’t even have vocals. We’ve known him through Wils, so hearing our good friend making music again was already something special. As we got to know the rest of the band, we realized they were also members of bands we’ve loved for years. Everything just felt right. We couldn’t imagine a better band to kick off the label with.

Seven tracks, short enough to enjoy in one sitting, but with so much to unpack. What caught us off guard were the vocals and lyrics, especially how they frame the struggles of modern life through video game references. Seriously, how the hell do you make something so personal out of imaginary worlds and gaming lore?

We won’t spoil too much. Give the whole EP a proper listen, read the lyrics, and let the little surprises unfold from one track to the next.

And if you enjoy it, please grab a cassette. It’s one of the most direct ways to support the band and our little label, and help us keep doing this.

With love,
Marathon Recordings greetings from TXL and NYC

Please enjoy S(O)LIS — (O).

P.S. To everyone who DM’d us about reserving a cassette, we’ll get back to you soon! We’re still figuring out the best way to handle online orders.

Or better yet, come hang out with us this Saturday, October 31, for our release and listening party at our beloved @kapa.ka.pa in Bintaro. We’ve teamed up with Kapa on a special blue drink to celebrate the color of the EP. Grab a cassette, have a drink, and spend the evening with us.

P.S. part 2 :
Deftones’ Around The Fur was released 29 years ago today

See you there!
