Album Notes & Community Reviews

On their second album 'New Plastic Ideas', Unwound established themselves as masters of abrasive and anxious post-hardcore. The record is incredibly raw and dissonant, utilizing heavy, dark guitar textures and depressive lyricism to explore themes of profound urban anger and alienation.
