Past and present members of Portland, OR hardcore mainstays such as Remains Of The Day, Hellshock, Warcry, Lebenden Toten, etc. pull a 180 and dish out 10 tracks of icy, ominous post-punk. Since their last release, The Estranged have dialed back the explicit aggression of their early singles a bit, and dialed up the textured, atmospheric, layered sounds of prime '80s deathrock/post-punk. 'The Subliminal Man' was painstakingly, impeccably recorded at Type Foundry Studios in Portland and features eight new ones, a re-recording of 'Statue In A Room' (originally released as a split 7' with Autistic Youth) and a rather stunning cover of The Flys' 1978 classic 'Love And A Molotov Cocktail.' Vinyl version includes download.
Includes unlimited streaming of The Estranged: Subliminal Man LP
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
this album made me feel nostalgic for memories that never existed😭 the name of the album compliments the sound of the album very well. keep up the great work.

Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist
Terrific goth-y post-punk from Pittsburgh full of knifepoint guitars, threatening atmospheres, and vocals delivered with a scowl. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 10, 2022
Serious Devo vibes with some creeping synths from this Oakland-based project featuring members of Mall Walk and Religious Girls. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 25, 2017
Discordant and danceable post-punk gems from an LA trio featuring bright and bouncy B-52s-style vocals. Instant like. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 27, 2017
