Kerosene 454 - At Zero (2025) [Hi-Res]

Originally released in 1998 on Slowdime Records, Kerosene 454’s third and final full length album ‘At Zero’, is now back in print after 27 years. It has been completely remastered from the original tapes by Dan Coutant at Sunroom Audio in Cornwall, NY.

In the fall of 1997 after touring with Boys Life, the band went into Inner Ear Studios to record ‘At Zero’ with J. Robbins (Jawbox, Magpie Cage Studio), Don Zientara, and Juan Carrera (Warmers, Slowdime Records). The album came together at a crossroads where a shifting D.C. scene, evolving musical interests, and broader cultural changes all collided; all of which shaped the writing and recording of the record. Whereas earlier records tried to faithfully recreate their live sound, ‘At Zero’ found the band letting go and letting the studio become part of the process.
