Sugar’s formative work gets a fresh look with three new reissues: their debut Copper Blue (1992), the intense mini-album Beaster (1993), and the closer File Under: Easy Listening (1994). Formed by ex-Hüsker Dü frontman and all round legend Bob Mould, these three albums capture Sugar at the height of their indie-rock powers. Back on vinyl courtesy of BMG. - Flying Out
Beaster is the second album by Sugar, the short-lived but brilliant trio featuring former Husker du singer / guitarist Bob Mould. Released in April 1993, and recorded and mixed during the same intense sessions that produced its 1992 predecessor Copper Blue, this concise 6-song suite entered the UK album charts at no.3, a remarkable achievement for such a noisy and uncompromising rock record. although darker in tone than the widescreen powerpop of Copper Blue, Beaster contains some of Bob Mould's most powerful songs, from the splenetic frenzies of Tilted and JC Auto, the religious torture chamber imagery of 'Judas Cradle', the transcendent Feeling Better, or the elegiac finale Walking Away.
