Isis - Mosquito Control / The Red Sea

Isis - Mosquito Control / The Red Sea

Mosquito Control / The Red Sea is the vinyl reissue of two of Isis' early EPs, packaged together in a 2LP set with new artwork. The campaign is launching on September 5th, when the albums will also go back on the DSPs after being absent digitally for years. With only a very limited amount made worldwide, this will guarantee to sell out right away like the other recent Isis reissues.

 Double LP reissue of two of the band’s early EPs,
packaged together with new artwork.

 The music of ISIS is a suitable metaphor for their
twelve-year career: patient, meticulous, fraught
with tension and gradually building towards an
apex of seismic proportions.

 From the hypnotically bludgeoning down-tuned
riffs of their early years, to the gracefully sprawling
passages on their pivotal sophomore album,
‘Oceanic’, and continuing through the intricate
rhythmic textures and increased melody of 2006’s
‘In The Absence of Truth’, ISIS have successfully
navigated the process of growing and evolving
without disavowing their initial vision.

 25 years ago, the band released their first proper
EP, ‘Mosquito Control’, which was followed up the
next year with another EP, ‘The Red Sea’. Both
have been out of print for some time now, so
Ipecac are reissuing them together with updated
artwork for this special edition package.
