Trey Gruber, the singer of Chicago band Parent, died in 2017 at the age of 26 after a years-long battle with alcohol and heroin addiction. Gruber left a treasure trove of unreleased recordings. Gruber’s mother, along with his former partner Jessica Viscius, has worked to release this material in the time since. After going through piles of home tapes, live recordings, and studio sessions, an official tracklist was chosen. The result is the double LP Herculean House Of Cards — 26 songs in total — a song for each year Trey lived. The official release date is June 28, 2019 by Numero Group.
All headlines use tight-not-touching Kabel Black (with the exception of a few lowercase letters which indeed touch). The whole aesthetic is definitely a 1970s callback, which is a fitting companion to the music. (Kabel Black saw loads of use in the 70s and was usually spaced similarly.)
The vinyl sticker and back cover feature some outlined Kabel Black.
Cover for the single record "Last July."

Puts me a “little” in mind of these posters from a few years ago: www.creativereview.co.uk/wo…
Yes, Tom! Definitely in the same vein!
They somehow managed to make the display look like it came out in the 1970s (Kabel Black has that effect).
