11 July 2026 – Parts & Labor Return To Make A Magnificent Racket

Brooklyn noise-rock veterans <a href="/tags/parts-and-labor">Parts & Labor</a> return with ‘Set of All Sets’, their first new album in fifteen years. That is enough time for entire music scenes to appear, become fashionable, receive an anniversary documentary and start selling expensive reissues.

Fortunately, the band do not return sounding preserved behind glass. The album is packed with electronic abrasion, distorted momentum and titles including ‘Seamripper’, ‘Many Worlds’, ‘Haunted Limbs’ and ‘Indecision Tree’. Parts & Labor built their reputation by finding melody inside chaos, and ‘Set of All Sets’ continues that mission with wires exposed.

The songs feel urgent rather than nostalgic, driven by the sense that noise can still be a tool for curiosity rather than merely aggression. This comeback matters because the band’s combination of punk energy, electronic texture and adventurous structure remains highly relevant to a new generation of restless guitar groups. ‘Set of All Sets’ is not a polite return. It is the sound of someone reconnecting the electricity and discovering the old machine still bites.
