From the outset, 2012’s ‘Unsound’ was not going to be like any other
Mission of Burma album. As expected, the material is raw, primal and
aggressive. They still have a signature knack for twisting even the most
ferocious noise into complex structures. There are, of course, those
killer hooks scattered throughout, but just not quite where you would
expect. Yet with all three lead members resolutely making the decision
to deliberately stretch their boundaries even further, they stepped out
of their comfort zone to create their most rewarding, bewildering and
multifaceted long-player yet.

‘Unsound’ is Mission of Burma’s fifth studio album, continuing their
remarkable legacy. It seems redundant now to even call it a comeback
because they’re a dynamic, current band. Originally together just four
years, from 1979-83, Mission of Burma reformed in 2002 for a handful of
shows…which let to more concerts, then more, and eventually the release
of 2004′s “ONoffON”, their first new recording in over twenty years. But
no one expected them to just keep putting out records, let alone
records that were every bit as vital and influential as their seminal
early recordings. Their first album ‘Vs’ is down in the annals of time
as being one of the most important post-punk records ever. Their
subsequent recordings: “ONoffON”, “The Obliterati”, “The Sound, The
Speed, The Light”, and now, “Unsound”, continue to grow in scope, depth
and accomplishment with every step…
