SubHuman 2LP

Mute is excited to announce the repress of Recoils SubHuman, available August 11th on black vinyl. Follows the sold out blue vinyl reissue, released in November 2022. The vinyl is packaged in a gatefold sleeve and includes a high definition download code. Recoil is the musical project of former Depeche Mode member, Alan Wilder. Originally a solo venture for Alans more experimental work outside of Depeche, Recoil became his primary music project once he announced his departure from the band in 1995. After a 6-year break from recording, Alan Wilder returned with Recoils fifth studio album, SubHuman. This dark electronic album, which sets the listener a challenge to analyze what makes us human and SubHuman, is a collaboration with bluesman Koe Richardson, who Wilder came across via a Google search. Richardson provided guitar, harmonica and eerie vocals dealing with themes of murder, death, and religion. Singer Carla Trevaskis lent her ethereal vocals on Allelujah.
