Hornet Disaster, the latest album from the noise-pop project Weatherday, is a culmination of Sputnik's creative vision. According to Sputnik, the album's theme of hornets came to him in a moment of clarity, and it all just made sense.

This album follows Weatherday's 2019 debut Come in and serves as a spiritual successor to their 2022 collaboration release Weatherglow. With over 70 songs initially produced for the record, Weatherday ensured that each track contributed to the complete, overarching narrative that tied back to Sputnik's previous work.

Weatherday's Hornet Disaster is their most expansive work to date, with each song on the album vying for space like wasps in a swarm. Despite the bustling energy of the record, there is a sense of caution, chaos, wonder, purpose, and familiarity that permeates throughout.

Building upon the knotted, thrashing maximalism of Come in, Hornet Disaster showcases Weatherday's uncompromised, no-stone-unturned approach to their music. While Come in represented an artist searching for their voice, Hornet Disaster embodies the joyful abandon that comes from having found it.
