Statues (Hüsker Dü song)
1981 single by Hüsker Dü / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Statues" is a song by Hüsker Dü released as a single in 1981.[3] It was the band's first single, b/w the song "Amusement."[4] This release finds the band in a period where its music was drifting from punk to post-punk. Briony Edwards of Louder wrote, "Though it shows an interest in experimentation that would follow the band through each stage of their career, the ... Krautrock inspired, Keith Levene-esque guitar is far removed from the boisterous hardcore that followed in its wake."[5] The single's pressing was limited to 2,000 copies. The two tracks appear on the Everything Falls Apart and More CD.

In 2013, the Numero Group reissued the single with the studio outtakes "Writer's Cramp" and "Let's Go Die" as a 7" pairing in a gatefold jacket. The studio recordings are remastered from a first-generation sub-master, while "Amusement" is from the original live board tape.[1]
