Sovereign

latest in series of reissues of the californian legends' back-catalogue. as with all the reissues, this comes in an o-card package with updated artwork by josh graham. 'sovereign' reissue also comes with the bonus of a new track 'misgiven'. originally unveiled in 2000, the four-song, 32-minute 'sovereign' ep was the first neurosis release issued through the band's own neurot recordings, with the vinyl appearing via hydra head. in chronological terms, 'sovereign' served as a millennial segue between two of the band's most revered full-lengths, 1999's 'times of grace' and 2001's 'a sun that never sets'.
