With live dates opening for Arcade Fire coming up next month, The Unicorns have announced a reissue of 2003’s acclaimed Who Will Cut Our Hair When We’re Gone?, their third and final album. The digitally remastered version, due out July 29th, contains four bonus tracks: a live version of “Haunted House,” recorded March 29, 2004 at Seattle’s Crocodile Cafe, a previously unreleased cover of Daniel Johnston’s “Rocketship,” “Let Me Sleep,” a never-before-released track from the WWCOHWWG? sessions, and “Evacuate the Vacuous,” an outtake from the WWCOHWWG? sessions that was originally released as part of the 2014 EP by Suicide Squeeze and has been remastered for this release.
The Unicorns’ cover of Daniel Johnston’s “Rocketship” is currently streaming over at Pitchfork, and is available to stream & post via Soundcloud. You can pre-order the digital reissue of WWCOHWWG? here.
The physical reissue consists of CDs to be released on August 26th and limited-edition vinyl— 1000 copies on pink & black vinyl and 1000 copies on 180 gram black vinyl— to be released on October 7th. Both the digital and physical reissues are being released on the band’s own Caterpillar Records, via Redeye Distribution.
