In an unplanned, unexpected and potentially troubling moment of impulse, the compilation album DYSREGULATION (2026) was released on 11 September 2026. As part of the ongoing and undecided divestment from major streaming platforms, this latest release collates, in one place, (mostly) high-resolution (192/24) versions of all the Lugubrious 78 ‘singles’ released between 2024 and 2026. Theoretically, this should avoid some of the ongoing costs of maintaining or re-releasing singles, allowing release efforts to focus here on the Lugubrious 78 website. More information is available at DYSREGULATION (2026).
The first track, ‘Reimagined Souls’, can be streamed below. This track is also available on ‘REPEAT. BLINDLY.’, part of the EMPTY CHAIRS SERIES (2025 - 2026). For more information, see EMPTY CHAIRS SERIES (2025 - 2026). The album ‘Empty Chairs’ was itself released on 29 May 2026 (it will be added here soon) and was the first release relating to this year's sixteen planned releases (see SIXTEEN ALBUMS AND A BOOK?). Does this mid-point release destroy the sixteen?
