"SUPERUNIT: Maximum Implosion" brings together the collected collaborative works of ZENI GEVA and STEVE ALBINI (Big Black, Shellac) in one comprehensive package. Included is ZENI GEVA's landmark album "Nai-Ha", the rare SUPERUNIT studio recordings and the live album "All Right, You Little Bastards!" culled from ZENI GEVA and STEVE ALBINI's historic live performances in Tokyo and Osaka.
 
Steve Albini was an avid proponent of Japan's ZENI GEVA, producing five albums, as well as various singles and compilation appearances for the ultra-heavy, progressive metal powerhouse. However, during a particularly prolific period, the near the dawn of the formation of his band Shellac, Steve joined forces with ZENI GEVA on guitar and vocals for a series of releases that are being collected on vinyl in their entirety for the first time ever.

In early 2025, Big Thief songwriter Adrianne Lenker shared a 120-minute, 43-track intimate live album entitled Live at Revolution Hall, an immersive sonic documentary compiled across three days of performances. Now, the album is being pressed to Standard Black Vinyl for the very first time, exclusive to Record Store Day 2026. Amid collaged soundbites of enthused applause and audience chatter, producer Andrew Sarlo takes listeners stage-side, where Lenker and her band (including Josefin Runsteen and Nick Hakim) embark on a setlist of deep-cuts, fan favorites (such as "not a lot, just forever" and "anything"), and unreleased gems (including "oldest" and "happiness"), delivered via twinkling keys, chill-inducing cello passages, and Lenker's emotionally stirring vocal delivery. Says Lenker of the release, "Here is a little lighting in a jar, a capture of the spirit of all shows I've ever played and ever will play. The music is alive, and the magic of recording is letting us get close to that spark at anytime, anywhere, and if we want to - over and over again".
