Lync, the short-lived ’90s Olympia, WA post-hardcore band led by the late Sam Jayne, will put out a deluxe reissue of their sole album, 1994’s These Are Not Fall Colors, on October 20 via Suicide Squeeze. (It was originally released on K Records.) Pre-order it on one of three limited vinyl variants here.
After having been out of print for over a decade, the reissue has been remastered and it includes “Can’t Tie Yet,” which was previously included on the Remembering the Fireballs (Part 8) compilation. It comes packaged in a gatefold cover with printed inner sleeves and expanded artwork by Jesse LeDoux, with an 18×24 poster and liner notes by Brian Cook (of Botch, Russian Circles, These Arms Are Snakes, and more). The announcement comes with a new video for the remastered “Pennies to Save” and you can check that out below.
After the breakup of Lync, Sam Jayne would go on to form and front Love As Laughter. Sam and bassist James Bertram also played on Beck‘s 1994 album One Foot in the Grave, and James and drummer Dave Schneider were recruited as Built to Spill‘s rhythm section for the There’s Nothing Wrong with Love tour. The album’s engineer, Phil Ek, also produced There’s Nothing Wrong With Love, and went on to work with Modest Mouse, The Shins, Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes, and more. Jeremiah Green, who contributed to the original album artwork, co-founded Modest Mouse with Isaac Brock, who was also an early bassist of Lync.
