May 31 street date. "Insurrection" is a previously unreleased new album by Brooklyn-born master of minimalism Alan Vega. The eleven songs here showcase the unparalleled vision and uncompromising force from one of the most influential artists of all time. Vega considered his solo records the audio counterpoint to his visual art that reflected the world around him while simultaneously exploring universal themes. It makes his work as relevant today as it was when he created them. It was during his highly experimental period beginning in the late 1980s that he began working with Liz Lamere, who became the most crucial collaborator of his solo career until his death in 2016. Lamere, along with Jared Artaud, resurrected these newly unearthed collection of lost recordings, which they co-produced and mixed. "Insurrection" was created in the time period around 1997-98, after "Mutator", and captures the intense energy of NYC in the 90s rife with crime, killing, hate, fascism, racism, and moral bankruptcy. And true to Vega form, there remains hope and empowerment coursing through the tracks.
