The Sundays - Static & Silence - 140-Gram Black Vinyl - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. During transition, there is the urge to look backwards to figure out where we are supposed to go. It can be nostalgic; the golden haze that surrounds our selective memory. Sweet moments that make up our individual narratives, or the stories we tell each other to reinforce our collective identity. But that glance backwards can distract us from where we are now and what it really means; from the sea change, from the tide that sweeps what we know away and leaves us unencumbered, shivering, and beginning again. Care is that tide. The one that sneaks up behind us and washes everything away. That strips us of our armor and stops us mid-sentence. That brings us back to where we are. As much of a follow-up to 2005's synth-heavy Headphones album as it is to last year's Blanco, Care also finds Bazan getting back to the calm minimalism of early Pedro The Lion. Produced, recorded, and mixed by Bazan and legendary Oregon-based producer Richard Swift, bare synthesizers dominate the tracks, giving Care an intimate, personal sound.

Originally released in the U.S. on September 23, 1997, Static & Silence is the third and final studio album from the beloved '90s alternative dream pop band. The album features the singles InchSummertimeInch and InchCry, Inch as well as fanfavorites InchMonochrome, Inch InchWhen I'm Thinking About You, Inch and many others. Remastered by Justin Perkins at Mystery Room Mastering, the album is pressed on standard black vinyl with matte finish cover and poly-lined printed sleeve featuring the original album lyrics.

Vinyl LP pressing. Long out of print, the much-loved and critically acclaimed catalogue of The Sundays will be back in stock on vinyl and CD. Releasing three studio albums throughout the 90s, The Sundays are still revered with cult status across the world of indie rock, known for their shimmering, jangly guitars and the uniquely ethereal vocals of Harriet Wheeler. Stepping into slightly darker, more textured sonic territory, the band's second album trades some of the debut's upbeat bounce for a rich, introspective atmosphere, featuring songs such as On Earth and Goodbye.
