The Subliminals - United State (2020 Anniversary Reissue)

per
In celebration of its 20 year anniversary,FlyingNunveteransThe Subliminalshave announced a vinyl only reissue of their 2000 album ‘United State’, out on November 6th, viaFlyingNunRecords. The album’s 11 tracks were remastered for vinyl by original engineerTexHouston, re-ordered for optimal playback and pressed in New Zealand atHolidayRecordsto heavyweight 180g black vinyl.
Defined in the past as“an accident, a beautiful accident”,The Subliminalshave always leaned into the eccentricities of its four members,Steve Reay, Simon Maclaren, Jared JohansonandBrendan Moran. Together, the band amalgamated the “Flying Nun sound” with a Krautrock inspired, futurist ‘less-is-more’ aesthetic — making new of the old.
The Crystal Chain E.Pwas their first release from right before the turn of the century, and it presented a unique sonic drive, but with a tip of the hat to its predecessors. Their first and only full-length release,United Statefollowed soon after, in 2000, and made exemplary use of The Subliminals driving minimalist principles.
United Statewas recorded in a similar setting to their debut, with engineering and producing duties handled by Dunedin legendTexHouston. With every element of the backline distributed in different rooms throughout their adopted Northland beach house, the band was able to immortalise their enviable live energy, but with manageable track isolation. The beach house was solar powered, and although the environment proved challenging — Jaredborrowed petrol from his own vehicle to keep the generator going throughout the night — and the group managed to get the album tracking down to 24-track tape over just three days. Final overdubs were executed in the recently vacated Flying Nun Offices on Queen Street, Auckland.
Upon release in 2000,United Statewas met with heavy praise from iconic music criticGrantSmithies, who described it as“...the best local rock album in years”in hisSundayStarTimesreview.RussellBaillieobserved that the album“neatly capitalises on the promise of that earlier release”and proved“a real mindbender.”
20 years down the line, both these comments and the songs from the album have aged exceptionally well. While the band was only writing together for a short while, they are widely considered one of the most furtively influential and memorable bands ofFlying Nun’snew millennium.
From the brilliant pop damaged 'Uh-Oh' to the title track's ominous hypno-boogaloo,United Stateis a sonic kraut-tinged groove-fest that's guaranteed to keep the party (whether it's in your head or on the sidewalk) going.
