Alan Vega – Insurrection

Previously unreleased album by the Brooklyn born master of minimalism Alan Vega. The 11 songs on “Insurrection” showcase the unparalleled vision and uncompromising force from one of the most influential artists of all time.

Vega’s wife and collaborator Liz Lamere says of the album, “Insurrection was created in the time period around 1997/98, after Mutator and prior to Vega’s 1999 release of 2007 and captures the intense energy of NYC in the 90s rife with crime, killing, hate, fascism, racism, and moral bankruptcy. You can hear the tortured souls floating through this album.”

Fellow Vega collaborator Jared Artaud says, “Insurrection hits hard and shows the power and intensity of Alan Vega’s visionary solo work. It feels like he was trying to break new ground. There’s always a kind of magic that goes into working on Vega’s music. I feel like he was tapped into some other dimension. One hand in the gutter and one hand in the stars.”
