Nearly 25 years ago, the group some called “the best band of the ‘90s” suddenly pulled the plug. Now they’ve returned, catalyzing crushing loss into joy. Here’s how they came back from the abyss.
Fantastic interview, Seth. I was fortunate enough to know and catch them in Olympia way back when, and I’m so heartened by the attitudes they have today. Wishing them great success in whatever they choose to do next.
It's hard to articulate, but Unwound just sounds like Olympia (or at least the scene I remember from back in the day). I say that as high praise, and as someone that very much reveled in those sounds and all of the pieces that comprised the whole. I'm listening to "Nervous Energy" as I type, and it paints as vivid of picture for me as ever.
Thanks for the interview, I love them. Read this while waiting for their cancelled Manchester show to evaporate back into thirty quid... Hopefully, everything's still good with the band.

Appreciate that a great deal, Paul!
Great write up!

Appreciate that Kevin! And agree: It's astonishing how perfectly that sound just encapsulates the time and place....

Appreciate that reflection, Jim!

Ah shoot! Without giving too much away, I’m cautiously hopeful—though it’ll be a minute! Thanks for reading…
Great!!
Appreciate that, Gilly!
