Unrest were an unlikely addition to the 4ad catalog, a DC-area band with roots in the punk scene, although they'd mellowed considerably by the time Ivo & co discovered them. I once saw them open up for Stereolab and the general consensus was that they'd blown the headliners off the stage. Or maybe that was just my general consensus, because I don't like Stereolab very much. But I'm pretty sure other people agreed with me that night.
This song was originally released on their 85th album (not really, but it seems that way) in a fairly bland ballad form and then given life for an EP after 4ad picked them up. I'm not sure if the video is supposed to look like this.
