In late 1996 Chisel decamped from their native D.C. to Brooklyn's Rare Book Room. The power trio of Ted Leo- Chris Norborg and John Dugan teamed with engineer Nicolas Vernhes and came away with Set You Free a remarkable but largely overlooked classic of the era. Originally issued on the venerable Gern Blandsten imprint the album presaged the turn of the century '60s rock revival providing a counterpoint to second-wave emo. This deluxe 25th anniversary remastered edition supplements the original's 17-song track list with five period alternates and rarities plus a booklet of lyrics photos and an essay by Jes Skolnik. Get ready for the invasion.
