Fake Train introduced Unwound’s volatile mix of post-hardcore abrasion, repetition, and uneasy melody. Numero Group’s reissue preserves the debut album’s raw impact while returning it to vinyl in a vivid color pressing.
Opaque pink vinyl
180-gram Numero Group pressing with download card
The band’s 1993 debut album and an early landmark of Olympia noise rock
For fans of Fugazi, Sonic Youth, and Slint
After the Pacific Northwest grunge raids of the early ’90s that saw Nirvana, Mudhoney, and even the Melvins hoisted up the major label flagpole, Unwound’s 1993 debut came as a welcomed reprieve for underground noise-niks everywhere. A pulsing cluster of wiry feedback, lurching bass, and single stroke rolls, Fake Train entangles the energies of frustrated backpack emo, faded Riot Grrrl back issues, and their own dash of teen spirit and unleashes it all in an earsplitting 10-song assault.
