“After 30 years, seeing that these songs still mean something to people is something very special to us,” the band said in a press release.
After causing a stir on social media with a nostalgic ’90s photo and the message: “Did you miss us? We’ve been working hard behind the scenes, but we’re back. Stay tuned, exciting things are coming!” Elastic has officially revealed its next plans.
The British band will release a complete reissue loaded with unreleased material, rarities and B-sides, available from October 2 under the label Rough Trade Records. This special delivery in vinyl format will include the recreation of an original promotional poster rescued from the band’s personal archive; In addition, those who purchase the limited LP version in pre-sale will get a flexi-disc song collection “Cleopatra”originally recorded in 1995.
With his self-titled album and hits like “Connection”, “Stutter”, “Line Up” and “Waking Up”, Elastica made an outstanding debut in the Britpop of the 90s. After the complications of The Menace (2000), the band dissolved in 2001 and its members took different paths: the vocalist Justine Frischmann co-wrote “Galang” for MINE, the guitarist Donna Matthews It came out in 1998 and runs a music channel in YouTube; the bassist Annie Holland he walked away from the scene; and the drummer Justin Welch played with lush and today integrates The Jesus and Mary Chain.
