A Place to Stand \/ Worth brings together the band’s two seminal records on one cassette, charting their transformation from a confetti-cannon cult act to a group capable of weaving tender melancholy into their jagged edges. Led by Chaz Costello, Sculpture Club began in 2016 with a riotous spirit and a Salt Lake City scene left in their glittery wake; now based in Dallas, their evolution feels both hard-earned and inevitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2016’s A Place to Stand is a dispatch from the band’s early days, full of riptide basslines and crashing urgency, echoing the goth-tinged grandeur of Echo \u0026amp; The Bunnymen and The Cure. It’s a record that thrums with kinetic energy—driving guitars, shimmering leads, and the raw thrill of a band that threw themselves into every set like it might be their last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 2021, with Worth, Sculpture Club had learned to play with light as deftly as shadow. Open-hearted melodies and subtle acoustic textures softened their once relentless attack, without ever letting go of the glitter on the floor. Violins and chorus-soaked basslines deepened the palette, allowing a new kind of intimacy to emerge—less a retreat from their roots than a reimagining of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cassette captures that arc: the all-in glamour of the early days and the shimmery melancholy of a band willing to evolve in public. With an ever-shifting lineup, a growing reputation for spellbinding live performances (sharing stages with Xiu Xiu, The Ocean Blue, Riki \u0026amp; Soft Kill), and a restless vision for what comes next, Sculpture Club remains a testament to the power of community, form, and function—two albums, one tape, a decade of restless invention.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"à La Carte Records","offers":[{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":44015045050548,"sku":"ALC-153-CS-1","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/8331\/0772\/files\/ALC-153Digital.png?v=1755734295"}],"url":"https:\/\/alacarterecords.com\/collections\/releases-sculpture-club.oembed","provider":"à La Carte Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
