Description
In late 1996, after two years of persistent touring, Chisel were eager to document their quickly evolving sound. Decamping from their native DC to Brooklyns Rare Book Room, the power trio of Ted Leo, Chris Norborg, and John Dugan teamed with engineer Nicolas Vernhes and came away with Set You Free, a remarkable, but largely overlooked, classic of the era.
Originally issued on the venerable Gern Blandsten imprint in April 1997, Set You Free presaged the turn of the century 1960s rock revival, providing a counterpoint to second wave emo.
This deluxe 25th Anniversary edition, available on River High Brown coloured vinyl or black vinyl, has remastered and expanded the originals 17-song tracklist with five period alternates and rarities, and both formats include a booklet of lyrics, photos, and an essay by Jes Skolnik.
