The first new recordings in 22 years from avant-rock titans Mission of Burma. A work of staggering complexity, brimming with all the raw power of their '80s releases, while revealing tones, textures, and lyrical themes unimaginable the first time around. One of the most forward-thinking American bands, Burma have been covered by REM, Moby, Blur, and others, and helped shape the sounds of hardcore, indie rock, and emo. They're part of the Velvet Underground, MC5, Television, and Joy Division pantheon. "ONoff   [ read more ]

Their third full-length studio album proper might be the most aggressive, raw, and challenging in the band's storied career. It's as relentless and engulfing an album as Vs. some 24 years ago. Black humor, topical humor, general dense agro with hooks split into the sound like kindling. This is the next uneasy listening album of the year.

Originally released only on cassette in 1985 and then reissued on CD in 1993, Peking Spring is an odds-and-sods collection of previously unreleased material from all of Mission of Burma's 1979-1982 career. The ten tracks are in non-chronological order, but the heart of the disc is six 1982 recordings intended for what was going to be Burma's third album. (The group split before the album could be completed, due to guitarist Roger Miller's tinnitus.) These are largely unadorned recordings -- tape ma   [ read more ]
