SUICIDE
Surrender: A Collection (Vinyl 2LP)
Suicide, the influential proto-punk band comprised of Martin Rev and the late Alan Vega, are releasing a career-spanning collection of music. The new album is called Surrender: A Collection and it’s due out March 25 (via Mute/BMG). The first song shared from the collection is “Frankie Teardrop (First Version),” which features different lyrics than the original 1977 song, and an accompanying short film directed by the Jesus and Mary Chain’s Douglas Hart. Check it out below.
Surrender: A Collection includes newly remastered songs from the band’s debut album, Suicide, on through its final studio LP, 2002’s American Supreme. It also features special sleeve notes by Henry Rollins. “This gathering of songs is not a ‘best of’ nor is it a ‘definitive’ all-you-need-to-know compilation,” he explained in a statement. “It is an introduction that will hopefully compel you to explore the albums.”
