PRODUCT DETAILS
Hundredth have built a career on transformation, embracing change as their most defining trait. Over the past decade, the South Carolina-based band have forged a reputation for pushing boundaries, evolving their sound with each new album as if stepping into a new world. From their ferocious hardcore roots to the lush, immersive shoegaze of RARE-which landed on Stereogum's 50 Best Albums of 2017 list- to the shimmering, cinematic synthpop of Somewhere Nowhere, each release has felt like the birth of a different band. Hundredth have explored a kaleidoscope of genres with unrelenting curiosity. Each era truly feels like a new identity-sometimes bruising, sometimes beautiful, but always unrelenting in it's desire to move forward.Now, after five years in the dark, they return with Faded Splendor-a vivid collision of post-punk urgency and widescreen indie rock. The album draws from decades of alternative influence: the angular pulse of early-2000s revival, the brooding intensity of '80s UK post-punk, the anthemic shimmer of '90s alt-rock, and the atmospheric drift of dream pop-with a touch of alt-country flickering in the margins, perhaps just a symptom of growing up in the South. But it isn't nostalgia-it's propulsion.The record opens with Curve, a soaring, emotionally charged track that sets the pace, with a lush, expansive sound reminiscent of Silversun Pickups or the atmospheric qualities of early-'00s indie rock. "Big Love" follows, carrying the weight of widescreen power-pop with an infectious, shimmering energy. "Dark Side," the lead single, earned praise from Stereogum, who likened it's energy to early Bloc Party, highlighting Chadwick Johnson's vocal "burly intensity" over a hook that's "clean and big." "All The Way" channels anthemic dance-punk and widescreen indie, with a stadium-sized energy driven by a pounding 4/4 pulse and angular guitars. "Blitz" delivers a tightly wound, post-punk anthem-relentless and cathartic, landing somewhere between Placebo, Interpol, and the explosive fervor of early Arcade Fire. "Waste" grinds through a wall of blown-out guitars before collapsing into a chaotic swirl of samples and turntables-one of the album's most unpredictable moments. "Glimmer" follows like the end of a coming- of-age film-euphoric, nostalgic, and wide open. Then "Dazzle" pulls the rug again, blending alt-country vocal inflection with dream pop textures that recall the melodicism of Dizzy Up the Girl-era Goo Goo Dolls or early Third Eye Blind. The closer, "Faded Splendor," slyly leads the listener to the edge-then freefalls into ambient jazz. It feels less like a curtain call and more like a cliff dive.

By far, my favorite shop to buy from! Always quick with the delivery! Love tyler the creator and I've been searching for this specific vinyl at a good price!
package shipped well. there was a fragile sticker on the box which was nice, most places don’t put that and vinyls get damaged. package arrived in perfect condition.
Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
Super fast shipping, packing done well. Exactly as described. The customer service and product choice is why I keep coming back.
Perfectly packaged, no warping, clear sound. Will definitely purchase from Pale Blue Dot Records again.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
