Clean: Modern Rock (30th anniversary edition) LP

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Clean's album "Modern Rock", it has been remastered from the original tapes by producer and engineer Tex Houston and preserves Hamish Kilgour's original artwork. "Modern Rock" crackles with spontaneous energy, as if The Clean - namely, Hamish Kilgour, David Kilgour, and Robert Scott - couldn't help but make music together whenever they were in the same room. Following their 1989 reunion tour and the 1990 release of "Vehicle", those opportunities were rare. Then, for nine days in April 1994, the stars aligned over Dunedin and "Modern Rock" bloomed into life. It's an album of easy charm by a band so attuned to guitar pop that they make the creation of their sonic universe seem easy, as if what you're being let in on is a long-running conversation between three masters at a point where all three are riffing off of each other, line by line and hook by hook. The reissue offers new and old fans of The Clean alike an opportunity to hear the band at a creative zenith, shining light on an era that, until now, has been the provenance of crate diggers and completionists. First time in print on vinyl since its initial release, and the first time "Modern Rock" has ever been available on LP in North America.
