We're very very excited to announce that we'll be joining Reef for (most of) their 'Replenish' 30th Anniversary tour later this year!! Lots of Marshall's turned up to 11.

@bjork Vespertine Live on vinyl someday please?

Next up of the live performances, is Undo, recorded live in 2001 at the Royal Opera House during one of the last shows of the Vespertine tour. The entire performance was then released on DVD in the following year, as Vespertine Live At Royal Opera House. On stage is the harpist Zeena Parkins with the electronic duo Matmos, accompanied by a women's choir from Greenland and the Il Novecento Orchestra conducted by Simon Lee.

@PMcLoone They never disappoint

Meanwhile, over at LP Title of the Decade…

@lowtheband Hope you and the family are well ❤️

Shoutout to anyone who is alone tonight. ❤️🥁❤️ Peace on earth.

@learnandsing @DanceKatieKim 100%. Criminally underrated

@seaninsound Fiona Apple’s take on ‘Across the universe’

Some covers are better than the original. Name one.

Mark and Lewy sat down with the @NoEncoreShow podcast to chat about everything from our first house party shows, a 7-week US tour that would break up the band, to how we ended up getting back together. Check it out now - shorturl.at/cuFNV

A wonderful thread🧵 on a fantastic album. Happy 10th Birthday, Boa Howl by @HALVESband. A real favourite in this 🏠

@talldanhegarty @U2 Yeah, but did it peak at #12 on the indie charts?! Didn’t think so 💅🏻

Released on July 5th, 1993 - the extraordinary ‘Zooropa’ by @U2 - 30 years on, it’s still as engaging & great to listen to u2.com/music/albums/4…

@TowerDublin I mean…

Album theme: It's a strange one. Kind of about heaven, or someone's version of it. Kind of about dreams and parts about drowning. Some really amazing lyrics (once again) by Tim on this one. See inside gatefold of the Boa Howl vinyl for proof. (Time for a restock @TowerDublin ?)
