Corpse Pose 7''
Kill Rock Stars
1996
Rating: 8.5 big bold boys out of 10
A classic band with a classic seven inch featuring a classic song. Classic! One of my great regrets was only getting to see Unwound live once (circa their last album "Leaves Turn Inside You," an amazing fucking show), but as a consolation I've listened to "Repetition" four billion times so I've got that going for me. The a-side here, "Corpse Pose," can also be found on that record. The flip is a track called "Everything Is Weird," a song unique only to this release* that sounds like Unwound covering Sonic Youth. Yeah, Unwound often sounds like Sonic Youth, but this track is extra Sonic Youth-y. It goes without saying you should pick this one up if you ever get a chance, and just listen to more Unwound in general.
*That is until the 2014 Numero Group comp "No Energy," which compiled all of these b-sides into one place.
