Ultra Q - Empty Eddy

Before they were Ultra Q, the quartet of Jakob Armstrong, Kevin Judd, and brothers Chris and Enzo Malaspina were known as Mt. Eddy. While the band’s debut LP My Guardian Angel saw them exploring the shimmering, epic heights of shoegaze, their latest release Empty Eddy signals a deliberate and powerful return to their earthbound roots. The album’s title serves as a direct nod to their origins, reclaiming the raw, driving energy that first defined them. It is a record that sits perfectly at the intersection of Interpol’s post-punk atmosphere and the melodic, heart-on-sleeve hooks of bands like Joyce Manor and Together Pangea.

Empty Eddy is an album built on momentum, traded in for the "Post-Punk" grit and fuzzed-out melodies that have made Ultra Q a standout name in the contemporary scene. Originally self-released in extremely limited quantities and sold almost exclusively at live shows, this release marks the first time the album has been made available for wide distribution. For collectors and fans who have been searching for this "missing link" in the band's discography, this is the definitive chance to own a piece of Ultra Q history on vinyl. It is a loud, melodic, and essential document of a band coming back to where they started with a new sense of purpose.
