New Plastic Ideas

About

New Plastic Ideas is the third recorded studio album by the American post-hardcore band Unwound, (though second released). The album was released on March 21, 1994 by Kill Rock Star. The album was recorded in between from November 26–28 and December 13, 1993 at Avast! Studios in Seattle, Washington. As pointed out in The Vinyl Factory’s review for the album, New Plastic Ideas is a somewhat a step away from the feedback-ridden sound of its predecessor Fake Train and focuses more on melody and odd time signature, although the band has stated that this was unintentional. The album's title was once thought of a reference to the artist Piet Mondrian, however as explained by guitarist Justin Trosper, the name was simply made up on the spot. The album was released on March 21, 1994 through independent label Kill Rock Star, their second full-length for the label. The album was issued on compact disc, vinyl, and cassette format, and the front cover photo is taken from the Philippe Entremont record Grieg: Concerto in A Minor for Piano and Orchestra. After being out-of-print for year, the album was made available on LP format again when it was included (with Fake Train) on the band's 2014 boxset Rat Conspiracy. .
