(Clear with black, white & pink splatter limited to 500 copies). Jeff Rosenstock makes increasingly chaotic albums for an increasingly chaotic world.

With each passing year, it feels like the temperature of the universe boils five degrees hotter, and with each new album, Rosenstock's music grows more unwieldy and lawless.

Louder, faster, more feral. Which brings us to 2023-a planet on fire, a mere 90 seconds to midnight on the doomsday clock, and the release of Rosenstock's appropriately titled, anarchic record, HELLMODE.

"To me, the album feels like the chaos of being alive right now," Rosenstock says of HELLMODE.

"We're experiencing all these things at the same time that trigger our senses, and emotions that make us feel terrible.

We're just feeling way too much all at once!" But for all its textured turmoil, there are also surprising glimpses of clarity and grace to be found in HELLMODE, when Rosenstock deliberately slows things down in places that are prettier and more delicate, rare moments of shelter in the storm.

Which only makes it more rewarding when these moments unexpectedly unravel and spiral back into extreme, manic chaos, like abruptly being flung into a Nintendo game on level 99.
