COME - Near Life Experience LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition pink colour vinyl.

Originally released in 1996, Come's third album was the sound of a band heading into new territory, refining their dense mix of hypnotic noise-rock, blues and rock'n'roll song-writing.

Lovingly remastered, this new version features three incredible bonus tracks stemming from the same era, additional liner notes and photographs.

After Come's seminal 1994 release 'Don't Ask Don't Tell', bassist Sean O'Brien and drummer Arthur Johnson left the band to pursue other careers. Remaining members Chris Brokaw and Thalia Zedek recorded Near Life Experience with two different rhythm sections: one half of the album was recorded with drummer Mac McNeilly of the Jesus Lizard and Bundy K. Brown of Tortoise and Gastr Del Sol, the other half recorded with Kevin Coultas and Tara Jane O'Neil of Rodan and The Sonora Pine.

Other contributors to the album included Edward Yazijian from Kustomized and Jeff Goddard from Karate, both rock bands hailing from Boston, MA.

"Near-Life Experience is heavier, and at the same time prettier, than Come has ever sounded." - CMJ New Music Monthly

"Come is a re-energized, even more powerful band than they used to be, and Near Life Experience is their most concise and affecting release yet." - All Music
