Lynx — Self Titled — Computer Students™

Description

Lynx is the latest album by Lynx, an instrumental math-rock band from Boston, Massachusetts, consisting of guitarists Mike Hutchins and Dave Konopka, bassist Paul Joyce, and drummer Dale Connolly.

The release is an expanded edition of their album of the same name, a groundbreaking recording originally released on Compact Disc exclusively by Chicago label Box Factory Records in 2000.

Today, Computer Students™ is pleased to make it available on vinyl and all existing digital formats for the first time.

Lynx encompasses a bonus EP of three previously unreleased tracks, Human Speech, and a massive double-sided poster.

The collection is the latest entry in our Expanded Reissue series and is identified as CS007 in our catalogue. However, the album and EP are referred to as CS007-1 and CS007-2, respectively.

— Both records were mastered by Bill Skibbe in April and May 2022 at Third Man Mastering in Detroit, Michigan.

— Lacquers were cut by Ruy Mariné at Dubplates Berlin in May 2022.

— The entire Lynx design was created by Dave Konopka.
