The Clean - Anthology [Vinyl Box Set]

Anthology serves as a celebration of The Clean, a band whose influence extends so far beyond their New Zealand home that even if you have never heard of The Clean before, you have surely heard of some of the bands (Pavement, Yo La Tengo, and Superchunk, to name a few) who have been influenced by their unique blend of homemade garage rock, hook-filled melodies, and psychedelic experimentalism. Merge originally released the 2-CD Anthology in 2003, but in celebration of our 25th anniversary, we release this essential collection on quadruple LP.
