When Unpersons hits stores on September 13 in Canada and on the 20th in the States, The Pack a.d. will have established themselves as a band by which to compare others.
Like their last two albums, The Pack a.d. recorded Unpersons at the legendary Hive Studios with engineer Jesse Gander. However, where famed Detroit producer Jim Diamond (Electric 6, The Detroit Cobras, The White Stripes) mastered 2010's we kill computers from afar, he flew in — on his own insistence — to produce Unpersons first hand. After these sessions, the band went back with him to Detroit to perfect the mixing.
The result is a flawlessly produced and performed record that projects all the snarl, piss, vinegar, venom and vitriol heard on their first three albums into a realm that is distinctly their own. Any reference one may wish to make to The Kills or White Stripes is no longer relevant. The Pack a.d. stand unequaled.
