A MESSAGE FROM DUBSTAR

First of all, hello.

Secondly, thanks for all of the love you’ve shown for Hygiene Strip. We really appreciate it.

What’s next? We’ve recorded an intimate and homely acoustic version of Not So Manic Now to celebrate the 25th birthday of Disgraceful. It’s out now digitally, but we’re also releasing a souvenir 7” to commemorate the occasion. We know how you like the physical stuff.

The b-side is a cover of Free As A Bird. Why? When our debut album came out in 1995, we realised that it was coincidentally John Lennon’s birthday, and when Not So Manic Now was in the Top 20, Free As A Bird was too, which gave us the unexpected privilege of being in the charts at the same time as the Beatles. Including it here seems to heighten the nostalgia of the occasion, as it were.

We’re about to re-issue One on a small run of black vinyl and CD, to meet the requests we’ve had for more physicals of that.

We’re also releasing a ludicrously attractive 12” of Hygiene Strip, including an extended version and dub mix.

You can listen to Not So Manic Now / Free As A Bird acoustic and pre-order the limited edition, coloured vinyl 7” here.

Listen to Disgraceful in all its mid-90s glory here, and wish it a happy birthday.

Pre-order the re-issue of One here, if you missed it last time.

Pre-order the limited edition, coloured vinyl 12” of Hygiene Strip here, to either play loudly or simply gaze at adoringly.

What else?

There’s a lot more completely new music coming. We’re working on plans for the back-catalogue. We’re working on releasing the older music in the USA and Canada. A lot more will be revealed soon.

With even more love than usual,

Sarah and Chris
