Numero Group Announce Second Unwound Box Set

BY Josiah HughesPublished Dec 3, 2013

Prolific Pacific Northwest noise-rock act Unwound are in the midst of a reissue campaign courtesy of Numero Group. In September, they kicked it off with the Kid Is Gone box set, and now they've announced plans for another.

The next Unwound box set is called Rat Conspiracy, which was a working title for their 1993 LP Fake Train. That album is on here, along with 1994's New Plastic Ideas. Rounding it out are unreleased radio sessions, rarities, B-sides and a cover of "Plight" by the Minutemen.

The box, which will arrive in March of 2014, also includes archival photos and a 10,000-word essay from David Wilcox.
