  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    A limited vinyl edition of this classic album with the original design and layout of the first pressing from 1992. All the details have been re-created including the lyric sheet, the blue box around the amplifier on the front, the label art, and even the Ajax and No.6 Records logos and addresses. The original didn't have a barcode, so we've created a spiffy new removeable OBI card for that featuring a photograph by Mike Galinsky of the band playing at New York's Spiral club in 1991.

    On "Cherry Cream On" red inside clear color-in-color vinyl or "Imperial" black inside clear color-in-color. Photos here are only an approximation of what it will look like.

    ALL PRICES INCLUDE SHIPPING WITHIN THE U.S. of A. Pre-orders should ship by the release date: July 21, 2023.

Imperial 07:49
Sun is whiter than whiter Could be a witness to... Burning out my eyes Sun is whiter than whiter Could be a witness to Burning out, killing and talking Burning out, killing and talking Imperial. Someone is coming I can have her, some day. She has me, she can have me She has me, she has, Imperial. Where am I from She. She. She is from Nineteen hundred and twenty-two Nineteen hundred and two Fine time to wish mine She was, she was Fine time to wish mine Imperial.

I do believe you’re blushing Everything in your mind is coming Why miss K I do believe you I want to stick you gold and blue Sucking boat where I want to be Train train in the ground with me Sinking sky, the sky is falling Looking now, I am calling you I do believe your eyes Your face is glowing I do believe your face Waking up to your eyes Endless over I do believe that you are blushing Put me on the ground, won’t you? Take a walk in the park, won’t you? Let’s lay on the rock with me Don’t you, don’t you, want to look me? Push me to the wall, won’t you? Push a ring down my neck for you What will they be like? Like you? Incredible eyes, Incredible! I do believe your eyes Your face is glowing I do believe your face Waking up to your eyes Endless over I do believe that you are blushing.

It doesn’t matter where you’re going It doesn’t matter who you’re painting Taking time to watch the walking Taking time to take the train, on Isabel, Isabel Isabel, Isabel, Isabel one, four, five women walking In the square In the subway Detroit, home is coming Isabel, Isabel Isabel, Isabel, Isabel three, two, five women walking Yes, you were a lovely child She is a lovely child Gone diving in the river But your body kept on swimming All alone from life’s beginning Admiration is still swelling Isabel, gone, but still here, Isabel.

As you lay dying Poppies are reddening Bursting wide open Revealing their seeds Tastes like the water That bleeds on white skin, As you lay dying Morphine and ice cream Staining your sheets Confusing your mind and it reminds me They still get paid when you die. They took the heart Right out of you, How did it feel to be twenty-six degrees? With your body split leaking all about your legs, Could you hear me call From your mountaintop Crawling through the snow Crawling through the Blood, DADDY don’t go away DADDY Please Stay.

uno. due. tre. quattro. cinque. sei. sette. Oh the pressure All the pressure Sinking depression All depression I want you to be mine I want you always Lovey, lovey Here the pressure Tell me, would you do me? Could you see the headlight? Coming closer closer Love from you is what I need. Would you die for me? (No.)

about

Unrest Washington, D.C.

Unrest was a towering pillar of indie rock, from the tongue-in-cheek garage noise of their earliest efforts to the shimmering, manic pop thrills of their later, most enduring work, the band was a paragon of DIY virtue, perfecting a genre-hopping eclecticism and knowing, ironic lyrical outlook that virtually defined the sound and feel of the 1990s.
