FN349 The Clean – Unknown Country (1996)

Recorded and mixed in two sessions during 1996,The Cleanyet again prove to be masters of musical innovation, three guys who can only amaze when they come together and throw all their ideas down on tape. And as a mood of supreme grooviness is all-pervading onUnknown Country, this isThe Cleanat their most timeless.

“Unknown Countrycould well beThe Clean‘s best album ever. The odd pop songs focus on the tension and the release that characteristic of psychedlic rock although ‘Champagne and Misery’ stays closeThe Clean’s canon, ‘Wipe Me I’m Lucky’ experiments shyly, and ‘Walk Walk’ is warped like a cartoon soundtrack.”

– Pierre Scaruffi, The History of Rock Music
