SND3 + SBR25 - 1999 / 2025

Inspired by bands like Unwound, Satisfact, and Joy Division, Seattle band Transitional were fascinated with the concepts of postmodern world building and film noir decadence. Their 1999 album, The People Vs. Transitional, was recorded by Bobby Nath of Mars Accelerator, and released on CD by SF/Bay Area label Sound On Sound.

We recently stumbled upon a small number of CDs (still sealed) and are making them available here.
