Placebo Placebo RE:CREATED LP/Vinyl

Oslo-aktuelle Placeboslippersitt selvtitulerte debutalbum i helt ny drakt! Brian Molko og produsent Rob Kirwan har vært i studio og hentet fram de gamle mastertapene, for deretter å omarbeide og pynte på samtlige ti låter. Den nye versjonen,Placebo RE:CREATED, lanseres 19. juni – ganske nøyaktig 30 år etter at albumet opprinnelig kom ut.To bonuslåter har det også blitt plass til; "Drowning by Numbers" og "H.K. Farewell" følger med som en egen 7" til vinylutgavene, men låtene er selvfølgelig også inkludert i CD-utgaven. Den doble vinylutgaven og CD-utgaven (også dobbel) byr på henholdsvis ytterligere ni og fem bonusspor. Ingen av disse er identiske, så skal du ha alle må du gå for begge utgavene.Celebrating three decades since the release of their groundbreaking debut album, legendary alternative rock band Placebo announce Placebo RE:CREATED, a powerful new reworking of the record that first introduced them to the world in 1996. The album will be released on 19 June 2026 via Elevator Lady Ltd through AWAL.Originally arriving at the height of the Britpop era, Placebo stood in stark contrast to the prevailing cultural mood. While much of British guitar music at the time leaned into laddish nostalgia and national identity, Placebo’s debut delivered something altogether more provocative and confrontational. Its songs addressed sexuality, androgyny, addiction and alienation with an honesty rarely heard in mainstream rock at the time, establishing the band as one of the most distinctive voices of their generation.Thirty years on, Placebo RE:CREATED sees the band return to this pivotal album with a fresh perspective. The new record features reworked and embellished versions of all ten tracks from the original album plus two bonus tracks from the original release, capturing the way these songs have evolved across decades of performance while retaining the raw spirit that defined them. Among the tracks are the era-defining singles “Nancy Boy” and “36 Degrees”, songs that helped establish Placebo’s reputation for fearless lyricism and genre-defying sound. These new recordings amplify the urgency and attitude that made the originals resonate so strongly, while reflecting the band’s growth and experience in the years since their debut.
