Chalkpit Cassette Club is back with new treats for all the music lovers out there.

The world of Volleyball is a truly synesthetic experience. Mixing retro designs, hypnotic rhythms, saturated colours and DIY aesthetics, their music contains an undeniable sense of nostalgia and escapism. It is the sound of a good trip; one where the listener is transported to a vivid alternative universe, far away from the mundanity of the daily world. Even their website is an escapist sinkhole, featuring an arcade-styled videogame that is both charmingly simple and deceptively addictive.
Silas Gregory - Founder of Chalkpit Cassette Club said “For me Volleyball are easily one of the most exciting bands to come out of 2021 and a firm favourite of ours at Chalkpit. The band never fail to raise the bar pushing their creativity and musicianship to the limits. I am thrilled to be able to bring them onto the Club for a very special cassette release encompassing their musical discography to date featuring current singles, remixes and even 8-bit versions of their tracks."
