Unwound were a band that changed with every album they put out. "Leaves Turn Inside You" is their last album and though its sad that it is their last release, what a way to go out! The term "swan song" gets tossed around alot, but it fits perfect for this album. All of the elements of the bands past albums are here, but along with new experimentations. Piano, Keyboards, Cello, etc. It feels very open. I dont like to use the word spacey, but it can totally fit with this album. Almost like you are floating from song to song. And yet, there is an aggression that is usually reserved for more straight forward/non-adventurous post hardcore bands. This band was often overlooked in the face of bands like Fugazi. But I suggest anyone into post hardcore, or even early math rock or post rock, giving this album at least a listen.
Personal Album Highlights:
-Off This Century
-Below The Salt
if you like the album, please buy it from a local record store.
