Unwound to release live album - 10.29.2012


Unwound broke up 10 years ago, not long after the release of their 2001 album Leaves Turn Inside You. Now, a decade after the group's dissolution, Unwound is releasing a live collection of recordings from their final tour. Live Leaves will be released Dec. 11, and primarily consists of tracks from Leaves Turn Inside You, with a handful of other songs throughout the band's career.

In a release, Unwound frontman Justin Trosper says, "Let's be clear: this compilation isn't trying to rewrite history. Listening through hours and hours of tape from this time, I cringed frequently. But there were also sublime moments where I was touched. Think of it as a gift from us to you -- we did the hard work of culling the good stuff from a few dozen shows. Now you can just sit back and listen (at a loud volume, please)."
