Giants Chair Celebrates 30 Years of 'Red and Clear' with Deluxe Anniversary Edition
A defining album of Midwestern post-hardcore, Red and Clear, the stunning 1995 debut from Giants Chair, returns in a newly remastered 30th Anniversary Edition. Originally tracked with Mike and A.J. Mogis at Whoopass Studio, the album’s angular guitars and propulsive rhythms helped shape an era. This definitive reissue sharpens its edges with a fresh remaster by Duane Trower (Weights & Measures Soundlab), preserving the raw urgency that made it an instant classic.
Housed in deluxe jackets crafted by Kansas City’s renowned Hammerpress, each edition is individually numbered and printed using letterpress techniques on heavyweight chipboard with metallic inks. The package includes:
A 12” x 12” lyric insert
An exclusive 11” x 22” letterpress poster
Three distinct vinyl variants
