A newly remastered version of “Unalive” by doomegaze outfit Spotlights has made its way out to digital service providers. This cut is a part of their forthcoming “Rarities” release, which serves up exactly what it’s title suggests. Regarding this sonically updated track, vocalist/guitarist, etc. Mario Quintero shared:
“I wrote the initial idea for ‘Unalive’ during the COVID lockdown. It was mostly just that little 7/8 electronic beat and guitar but I couldn’t really figure out where to go with it so got thrown into the ideas folder. Once songs for ‘Alchemy For The Dead‘ started coming together I pulled that session up and the whole song just poured out! Though it didn’t fit on the final sequence for the album it made a perfect addition to the ‘Seance‘ EP and now it can live in vinyl for ‘Rarities‘! It’s a tortured love story about trying to revive the love of a person who’s become dead on the inside. Basically a twisted more realistic metaphor of the Dr. Frankenstein story.”
“Rarities” will be out on November 21st through Ipecac and will feature a total of nine rarities b-sides & more.
