UNSANE "Unsane" LP

UNSANE "Unsane" LP

Their debut album from 1991 remastered after a 30 year wait. A noise rock milestone and a favorite in the Dropdead camp. Crazy drumming, abrasive guitars, crushing noisy bass and distorted vocals. Great fucking record!!

Fans of SWANS, Slug, Lubricated Goat, Jesus Lizard and early noisy Melvins, this is for you.

150gram LP on black vinyl in heavy board jacket.

By 1991 Unsane had perfected a unique "extreme" sound that established them as an important part of the NYC noise scene. With a couple singles and an unreleased 12" EP ("Improvised Munitions" eventually released in 2020), vocalist and guitarist Chris Spencer explains "We got offered a CBGB's show with Sonic Youth, although we were playing the graveyard slot which meant that we were to play after them. They played a crazy, super-long set and almost everyone had left as it was past 2 am, but of the 10 or 12 people still there, Gerard Cosloy from Matador [Records] had stayed. He offered us a deal that night." Decades after it's initial release, it's impossible to deny or underestimate the musical evolution of the 90's without including Unsane. Combining abrasive noise-rock with corrosive and powerful distorted vocals, furious pulsations of bass and drums, Unsane had broken down the doors of noise-rock for the 90's. Available on CD, and on vinyl for the first time since 1991.
