It’s been almost twenty years to the day since Self released their hit cult record Subliminal Plastic Motives. The record’s dense and eclectic take on ‘90s rock still resonates with fans two decades later, and will soon be discovered by a new generation of indie rock lovers as Fat Possum Records prepares to release SPM on vinyl later this year.
The recent signing of founding and principal member of Self, Matt Mahaffey, by Fat Possum Records allows fans to take in SPM on vinyl for the first time and will open the door to long awaited new material from the band.
Since the original release of Subliminal, Mahaffey has become a legend in his home state of Tennessee. An accomplished producer and composer, Matt has produced hit records for HelloGoodbye, Parachute, The Sounds, Forever the Sickest Kids and many others while also composing music for hit TV shows and feature films such as Shrek.
With the original lineup in tow, Self now prepares to hit the stage for their first show in nearly a decade, playing at the Gramercy Theatre in NYC on January 10.
