Unrest – Perfect Teeth (30th Anniversary Edition) (2xCD)

Only 1 left in stock

$18.00

Bowing out at their creative peak, Perfect Teeth is the wonderful final album by American 90s indie rock greats Unrest. Having just clocked 30 years, 4AD and the band are revisiting it to present the limited, celebratory double album of Perfect Teeth / Extra Teeth; the album remastered plus a bonus disc of EP tracks, singles and rarities.

Borrowing their name from a Henry Cow record, Unrest formed in 1983 at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia (just outside of Washington, D.C.). Beginning as an improv instrumental band, they were soon perfecting genre-hopping eclecticism and issuing recordings (often in cassette form) via frontman Mark Robinson’s DIY label TeenBeat, as well as on notable labels such as 4AD, Caroline and Matador.

Their last album, Perfect Teeth features the latter year classic line-up of founding members Mark Robinson and Phil Krauth plus bassist Bridget Cross (a one-time member of Velocity Girl) and was recorded in the Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, MN, in early 1993, mere days after Nirvana completed In Utero in the very same space.

For this reissue, the album and bonus tracks have all been remastered – most from their original analogue tapes – and are sounding as great as ever. Working again with original designer Chris Bigg, he’s kept the original album art as is (complete with Robert Mapplethorpe’s portrait of former Miaow singer/songwriter Cath Carroll on the cover) and has created a brand-new sleeve for Extra Teeth that compliments the original release.
