Handsome‘s 1997 self-titled debut album will make its way to vinyl for the first time in the near future. 6131 Records will be handling the new pressing of the effort from the band, who featured members and alumni of Quicksand, Helmet, Jets To Brazil and more.
Former frontman Jeremy Chatelain said of the coming LP:
“The Handsome record still sounds like New York City in 1996 to me. Every song on the record brings up a memory of dank rehearsal rooms, seedy clubs and edgy characters. I can remember rehearsing long hours on Mott Street below a gelato factory and above Sonic Youth. We practiced so loudly and with so much sheer force and repetition that Steve Shelley at one point walked in and asked us to stop. I’m really excited that the recording will once again see the light of day, this time on vinyl!”
