Posthumous Alan Vega Album ‘Mutator’ Released Alongside New Video ‘Muscles’

Today sees the release of the late Alan Vega‘s lost album, Mutator. Vega’s name is synonymous with unfettered creativity, and his work proved informative in the invention of industrial, synth/post punk and genres beyond. From the late 1950s, through his years playing in Suicide, and all the way up until his death in 2016, Vega was constantly creating. This process naturally led to a wealth of material that didn’t see the light of day immediately when it was recorded, which came to be known as the Vega Vault. 

Mutator is the first in a series of archival releases from the Vault that will come out on Sacred Bones Records. It was recorded with his longtime collaborator Liz Lamere and discovered in the vault in 2019 by both Lamere and his close friend and confidante Jared Artaud. Soon after they mixed and produced the songs into the visionary album that was lurking within those tapes.
