Someoddpilot Records

New single!! Black Cross Hotel tear open “The Seam.” Out now. First new music since ‘Songs for Switches.’

It started as one of six ideas Sanford Parker put down on an afternoon when the rest of the band was busy, working off the vibes of 1987 Ministry. It came back as a song about, in Marcus Eliopulos’s words, “the space where our individual worlds overlap and collide, where tension turns into harmony.” Engineered and produced by Sanford at Hypercube. Art by the band & Chris Eichenseer of Someoddpilot.

Listen everywhere. Link in bio.

Sunday, Black Cross Hotel rip Cold Waves XIV at Metro with King Woman, Youth Code, Lead Into Gold, Spike Hellis and Insula Iscariot. Doors 6, show 7.

Chicagoans can catch the action LIVE tonight as 4 of the artists take the stage at ‘s PLAY event - Friday 4/24 8-11pm.

A who’s who of Someoddpilot Records artists, friends and collaborators, this is a group of musicians who have performed & written together for over two decades.

Most of them appear on the last remix compilation released on SOPR, ‘s “evil vs. evil: the kids in the neighborhood pick up their bats and remix abrasive stuttering” in 2003. They are reunited here 23 years later, with more to come from each of them on future SOPR releases.

Sanford Parker, who plays bass in , records and mixes most current SOPR music from a recording studio located in the old office on the north side of , which, uncoincidentally, sits above a concrete bunker that serves as a rehearsal space for many of the artists on the label. .music has been in multiple bands with the label founder and members of . both still machine and are one half of metal band Beak and The Timeout Drawer. And on and on. To say SOPR is a family affair is nearly an understatement.

What comes with years of friendship is an undeniable shorthand that hastens collaboration, love and most of all, fun.

Thank you for listening! Someoddpilot Records is your home, too.
