Lepora "Zulotik" (p)2023 Bonberenea Ekintzak

Days ago the Basque DIY post-hardcore mainstays Lisabö announced their sixth longplay set for release for 12/01/2023. Those news made me wonder if I could find something to brighten up my day in the meantime, and after quite superficial study I've found this: a 20 minutes long jazz-oriented post-hardcore album sung entirely in euskera.
Along with some obvious comparisons to aforementioned Lisabö whose helmsman Carlos Osinaga produced this record, there is also strong resemblance to Midwest emo - especially to the bands that used time signatures like it was their playground (in other words, more Cap'n Jazz and Faraquet than Benton Falls or The Get Up Kids). The early screamo influence is palpable as well. The first two tracks ("Ez Dago Inor", "Zulotik") I like the most as they're the most fierce and uncompromised ones here. 
Punk/hardcore itself is something of a commonplace in the music landscape of Basque Country but Lepora can easily be singled out of their peers as evidenced by this abrasive yet memorable mini album.
