Apropos of its title, APPENDIX contains material that existed in various stages of completion during the recording of WAXWORLD, and is a bleaker, heavier, more angular exploration of certain of that album’s thematic terrain—alienation, nostalgia, impotence, dread, and the inexorable structures that bind our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3836365903\/size=small\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=0f91ff\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dandyboyrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/appendix\"\u003eAppendix by Joel Cusumano\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSays Cusumano: “During the writing of APPENDIX, I was recovering from a dark time in my personal life, and—not sure if you’ve noticed—the world happens to be on fire.” Unlike much of his previous work, the EP contains no explicit love songs or breakup songs, but plenty of the residual bitterness and cynicism of heartbreak. The songs also reflect Cusumano’s horror at the barbarism unfolding in the US and across the globe, all dressed in a driving, immediate 2-3 minute pop\/rock packaging that evokes both ‘90s college rock and ‘80s post-punk, as well as groups such as The Replacements, Elvis Costello, and early REM. Collaboratively, in order to promote WAXWORLD and record APPENDIX, Cusumano assembled the most powerful band he’s ever played with: Brett Austin Eastman (ANDY HUMAN \u0026amp; THE\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e REPTOIDS), Ella Keilt (THE LETTERWRITERS), Owen Kelley (CYAN POOLS), and Julie Barwick (LATITUDE). All members play on and arrange on APPENDIX, with assistance from Cusumano’s frequent collaborators Ray Seraphin (R.E. SERAPHIN, THE PENNYS), Matt Bullimore (THE MANTLES) and Rob Good (RYLI, THE GOODS), who also engineered the EP.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003ereleased September 11, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoel Cusumano: Guitar, vocals, bass (2, 3)\u003cbr\u003eElla Keilt: Guitar, vocals\u003cbr\u003eOwen Kelley: Bass (1, 4)\u003cbr\u003eJulie Barwick: Keyboard\u003cbr\u003eBrett Eastman: Drums\u003cbr\u003eRob Good: Vocals\u003cbr\u003eArranged by: Joel Cusumano, Julie Bawick, Brett Eastman, Ella Keilt, Owen Kelley, Ray Seraphin\u003cbr\u003eProduced by: Joel Cusumano\u003cbr\u003eEngineered by: Rob Good\u003cbr\u003eMixed by: Matt Bullimore\u003cbr\u003eMastered by: Bart Thurber\u003cbr\u003ePhotography by: Greg Allen\u003cbr\u003eDesign by: Joel Cusumano\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dandy Boy Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48767073583265,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/1427\/files\/joesls.jpg?v=1793776575","url":"https:\/\/store.greennoiserecords.com\/products\/cusumano-joel-appendix-new-7","provider":"Green Noise Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
