    Unwound and all things related

    I started this thread at the old ETS. Unwound were incredible and were introduced to me via Jinsai by way of their last album Leaves Turn Inside You some years ago. If you love Unwound, post about it. If you want to know more about them, ask about it. Anyone here ever get to see them live? Besides Brandt and Vern, Justin and Sara have been doing other projects for a long time. Now Justin and Brandt are back together in Survival Knife, and they'll be recording soon. Based on the bootlegs, I'd say it's the Hot Snakes to their Drive Like Jehu

    Unwound are amazing. Repetition and Leaves Turn Inside You are flawless albums, and I'll always speak strongly in favour of The Future of What too. I got really into them last year when I was checking to see how common the spelling "Scarlette" is for my daughter's name. First result was a YT video of the Unwound song and I fell in love from there. Although I did come up with the name on my own I am more than happy to be accused of naming her after that song.

    ^^ Amazing. Can't say I don't toy around with naming my future daughter Scarlette, too

    And The Future of What is so underrated. Three years ago it didn't even exist anywhere as a standalone upload online, only in a full discography torrent!

    Nice! I have a bootleg (pink vinyl!) of an incredible live Unwound show... I should record that and upload it. I don't see it anywhere, and it's one of the best live albums ever (at least in the "wow that was an amazing unfiltered live show" sense).

    Ooh, the first release seems interesting. There seems to be a couple of tracks I haven't heard among the tracklist. I got all of my (legal) Unwound stuff from iTunes so lookung forward to getting some physical copies.

    Unwound

    Unwound is re-uniting for a short run of US shows! This makes me more excited than I have any right being.

    If you've never heard their music, I'd actually really recommend starting with their last (and most ambitious) album, Leaves Turn Inside You, which is a post punk behemoth of a double album. Criminally underrated swan song from a band at their peak doing something completely new. It sits on the shelf next to anything.

    But really you could start with any of their albums.

    I walked into a Fry's Electronics in San Diego back in 2001 and saw the Leaves album. The cover art said something to me - still not sure what - and I had to buy it. Never had any experience with the band nor the genre so it was, uh, something.
