Medicine Reissues!

Medicine was arguably the quintessential shoegaze band from the United States who seemed to only be around a few short years while releasing some truly awesome music. Forgetting the reunion album (with a new singer) Medicine released three albums and a fairly ridiculous amount of EPs and singles.

Well Captured Tracks has re-issued the first two albums in a sweet looking package (more on that later).

Medicine ...is a crucial addition to Captured Tracks' ever-expanding Shoegaze Archives. The ... albums ... have been remastered along with previously unreleased tracks. You can hear new life breathe from this sexy and lush body of work.

Most people might recognize them from this appearance in The Crow movie

Shot Forth Self Living has all sorts of goodies added to the original version of this excellent album. It has been reissued as a 2xLP and also as a 2xCD.
