Hot Hot Heat - Make Up The Breakdown (Exclusive Yellow Vinyl)

Hot Hot Heat's classic debut album, Make Up The Breakdown, filled with smart, energetic, dance-punk hits, returns to vinyl with this fully remastered vinyl edition. Following closely on the heels of their critically-acclaimed Knock Knock Knock EP, Make Up the Breakdown is Hot Hot Heat's first full-length, recorded with Jack Endino at Vancouver's Mushroom Studios (with engineering help from Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie). It's best known to feature the hit single "Bandages".

AllMusic called the album "an addictive, densely packed pop gem that ranks among 2002's best albums", and Pitchfork agreed, including it on their list of the best albums of 2002.  Hot Hot Heat (along with peers like Radio 4 and The Rapture) blended angular post-punk twitch with danceable pop, effectively (and finally) persuading white dopes on punk to get on the good foot in the early 2000s.

Exclusive YELLOW 'Loser' vinyl edition produced by Sup Pop in 2022. Remastered at Elysian Masters.
