Parts & Labor - Set Of All Sets Parts & Labor

After a 14-year hiatus, Brooklyn noise-punk innovators Parts & Labor return with Set of All Sets, a colossal 79-minute double album and their first full-length release since 2011.

Released via Ernest Jenning Record Co., Set of All Sets finds the band re-energized, rebooted and expanding their signature blend of punk, kosmische and experimental rock. Matching skyscraping melodies and squelching electronics with hypnotic rhythms and frenzied percussion, the album is an expansive, blown-out rush of apocalypse-pop that imagines utopias while confronting the overwhelming weight of the infinite.

Co-founders Dan Friel and BJ Warshaw are joined by a dual-drummer lineup featuring Christopher Weingarten and Joe Wong, combining the forces of the band’s previous incarnations into a powerful new four-piece. The result is both a continuation of their acclaimed earlier work and a bold new evolution of the Parts & Labor sound.

Driven by rhythms inspired by Tanzanian singeli, ecstatic free improvisation and vintage krautrock motorik, Set of All Sets pairs relentless energy with some of the most triumphant melodies of the band's career, delivering a thrilling return from one of the defining acts of Brooklyn’s 2000s underground scene.

As Pitchfork once observed, “What Parts & Labor have figured out how to do, in a way no one else really has, is to make noise anthemic.”
