Unwound - (2014) 6/30/1999: Reykjavik, Iceland LP

In the summer of 1999, Unwound spent two months crisscrossing Europe. They began in Brussels, hit Germany, the Netherlands, and France twice each, spent a week in London and cut a Peel Session, and finally touched down in Reykjavik, Iceland, for a gig and session at RUV. The trio was on their way to recording their opus, and lingered just long enough in the past to revisit a few marquee highlights, stretching them out into droney sonatas drenched in feedback.

1000 copies of this live LP have been pressed, and those can only be purchased with a pre-order of No Energy. A handsome hand-screened jacket houses the affair, utilizing the bunny rabbit logo of noted Icelandic record store Hljómalind.
