Six Finger Satellite
Severe Exposure
Limited Loser Edition on Coke-bottle clear and orange vinyl. Sub Pop marks the 30th anniversary of Six Finger
Satellite's sophomore album, Severe Exposure, with an expanded double-LP edition of the album. In addition to the
original album, Severe Exposure: Deluxe Edition includes a bonus 12" of the 1994 Machine Cuisine EP, and a download of
17 additional songs, including rare singles, compilation tracks, and unreleased material. All the material has been
freshly mastered by JJ Golden, and the vinyl is packaged in a lovely slipcase with individual jackets for each LP.
Formed in 1990 in Providence, Rhode Island by J. Ryan (singer/keyboards), John MacLean (guitar), Peter Phillips
(guitar), Chris Dixon (bass), and Rick Pelletier (drums), Six Finger Satellite quickly signed to Sub Pop for the Weapon
EP. Shortly thereafter, they released their landmark 1993 debut, The Pigeon Is the Most Popular Bird, and then, in 1995,
Severe Exposure. Severe Exposure foreshadowed the early '00s revival of post-punk and synth-oriented rock by adding
synths to the band's caustic, tense post-punk sound. At the time Trouser Press wrote that "'Rabies (Baby's Got The)' and
'Simian Fever' are animal aggressive and messy, while sharing the synthetic digitone lusts of new wave." And the SF
Weekly praised it as "a party record, the kind you slip on at that inevitable point when you want 'certain people' to
head home." And it is Seth Jabour of Les Savy Fav's favorite Six Finger Satellite album! In his words: "I'm always
surprised at how much I love it and how important it was to us throughout our development as a band." Severe Exposure is
the band's best selling album, and it was recorded by the band at their own studio, The Parlour, in Providence, RI.
