SubHuman (2022 Reissue)

Overview & Specifications

Recoil is the musical project of former Depeche Mode member, Alan Wilder, and Mute are reissuing the project's last three albums - 'Liquid', 'subHuman' and 'Unsound Methods'.

After a 6-year break from recording, Alan Wilder returned with Recoil's fifth studio album, 'subHuman'. This dark electronic album, which sets the listener a challenge to analyse what makes us human and sub-human, is a collaboration with bluesman Joe 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 llent her ethereal vocals on 'Allelujah'.
