The NME Godlike Genius recipients released their 10th studio album last September, which included the singles ‘Disintegrate’ and ‘Trance State’, and they are gearing up for a co-headline tour with Manic Street Preachers later this year, which you can find out more about below.

As well as ‘Emotionally Unavailable’, the new deluxe version of the album will include the new tracks ‘Medication’, ‘Dirty Looks’, ‘Sharpening Knives’ and ‘Overload’, as well as 11 demo recordings of the songs from the original album. It will be released digitally and on 3CD on July 10 via BMG and you can pre-order it here.

‘Emotionally Unavailable’ finds the band channelling their classic sound, with propulsive, glam rock energy and Brett Anderson’s impassioned, soaring vocals. “Whatever she says she wants, well it clearly isn’t true / But you love to catastrophise,” he sings, before launching into the huge chorus.

Watch the lyric video here:


Anderson has said: “It seems to me that contemporary life has a kind of powder-keg feel. A taut atmosphere, like there’s something explosive about to happen, a latent anger, a lurking darkness, a frustration that requires suppression. We are all striving for connection in a disconnected world.”

Ahead of the release of ‘Antidepressants’ last year, Anderson spoke to NME, and declared, “I don’t think there’s any other band of our generation that are still making records as vital as the records we’re making”.

“I don’t think there’s any other band that look at making records as something other than a souvenir for a tour or something like that. I feel that we’re still making exciting music, pushing our sound and not just stuck as a self-parody. I never wanted to be the kind of band that rests on their laurels,” he said.
