Description
In late 2013, Preoccupations (then known as Viet Cong) released a small-run cassette EP only available on tour. Over the course of a year, Matt Flegel and Scott Munro worked in their basement studio with a mess of old and run down equipment to build a set of fresh material. Joined by bandmates Daniel Christiansen and Michael Wallace, the band completed work on an debut cassette. What emerged from the studio was a mixture of sharply-angled rhythm workouts and euphoric 60s garage pop-esque melodies, balanced with a penchant for drone-y, VU-styled downer moments and became a hard-to-find classic.
Preoccupationss first ever release, Cassette, originally a tour-only cassette, is now being reissued on vinyl.
Preoccupations are coming off the critical success of their debut album, Viet Cong (Pitchfork Best New Music) and their follow-up, Preoccupations, garnering acclaim from Pitchfork, NPR, The New York Times, Vulture and many more.
