Seven Nines and Tens to Release Satisfy the Faction 2008-2018 Cassette Box Set

seven nines and tens

I don’t have the stats on the average lifespan of the average band, so I don’t can’t give you facts and figures — and something in writing about Seven Nines and Tens makes me want to quote statistics; can’t explain it — but I know that if you’ve lasted a decade without pummeling each other or, more simply, breaking up, you’re probably doing something right, and that’s worth celebrating. In the case of the aforementioned Vancouver four-piece, they’re marking the occasion with a tape box set through Coup Sur Coup Records titled Satisfy the Faction 2008-2018, which brings together the four albums the band has produced in that time under the guidance of founding guitarist Dave Cotton onto two cassettes in limited, hand-dubbed edition. The colors are random — I guess whichever blanks are picked up out of the pile — and the tracks sound huge and will come with a download for even more short-release-type stuff, singles and all that. Kind of a cool niche thing to note the passing of an important milestone for the band.

And pretty noteworthy as well that it’s the first release Coup Sur Coup is doing for them. You know your label means it when they not only pick up your band, but decide to do a career-spanning compilation as the first outing and hand-press the tapes. That’s love, pure and simple.

Coup Sur Coup has the release out Oct. 10 with preorders up as of today. Label honcho Max Cayer posted the following at their Bandcamp, where the orders can be placed:

Seven Nines & Tens “Satisfy the Faction 2008-2018”

Here are the first 10 years of recorded output from seminal Vancouver band Seven Nines and Tens all under one umbrella, in digital and a very well assembled double cassette box set, dubbed, packaged, designed and hand numbered with heart and passion directly at Coup Sur Coup’s HQ, in Castlegar, British Columbia, Canada.

The band, started out life as a wholly instrumental act which combined elements of post-rock, post-metal and math rock into a complex sonic chimera.

Their evolution, over time and with line up changes, showed a band scaling back the guitar acrobatics in favor of huge shoegaze-inspired, post-rock walls of sound.

“We started off really progressive,” Dave Cotton, the only constant member of the band, founder, and songwriter, says. “I got really into Post-Metal for a while, and now it’s like psych-shoegaze post-metal, post-hardcore, and a little bit of classic rock; a little bit of Pink Floyd in there.”

It’s a heavier-than-heaven groove that balances a daydream shimmer with a mammoth rhythm section, a gorgeous collision between cascading atmospheres and alternative rock riffage.

This is a huge release for Coup Sur Coup, with a lot of special meanings.

It’s CSC first release to be made from the new office location in the Selkirk mountains of British Columbia, and fittingly so, with a band from the Province. It’s also our first attempt at documenting the entire career of one band up to this moment in time, and are extremely honored that said band is 7,9’s & 10’s.

A perennial favorite of mine and arguably one of the best and interesting band in Canada right now. Let alone the world. I intend on trying my best to shine a light on a vital group of musician making one hell of an interesting racket, for anyone willing to think outside the box, or look in odd places for something new.

This is, I hope, the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration, this collection of the first 10 years of recorded input being the first pillar in that relationship.

This very special deluxe double cassette box set will include:

-All four albums on two randomly selected coloured cassettes, totalling 120 minutes of music. (Singles releases are not included on the box set, but will be included in the massive download link provided with the box set)

-Dubbed 2 at a time, with great patience and care, at our HQ in B.C.
