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 Don Zientara, J. Robbins (Jawbox, Magpie Cage Studio), and Juan Carrera (The Warmers, Slowdime Records co-founder). 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 album. Whereas earlier records tried to faithfully recreate their live sound, At Zero found the band letting go and allowing the studio to become part of the process. They even invited others to play on the songs.
