Manic Street Preachers have announced details of a remix album - they've handed over each and every track from their new record 'Journal For Plague Lovers' to be remixed for future release.
The band have hand-picked a collection of names they admire to re-work their latest studio album, including contributions from The Horrors, British Sea Power, Underworld and more (see below).
Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire says of the remixes: "It's been a pretty overwhelming response to be honest."
"We chose people for each track hoping they would bring us back something unique, that they'd find something we maybe hadn't in the track."
"Without fail, they've done that. Heartfelt thanks from us to everyone involved."
The tracklisting is:
Andrew Weatherall - Peeled Apples
Saint Etienne - Jackie Collins Existential Question Time
British Sea Power - Me And Stephen Hawking
Patrick Wolf - This Joke Sport Severed
Optimo (Espacio) - Journal For Plague Lovers
The Pariahs - She Bathed Herself In A Bath Of Bleach
Adem - Facing Page Top Left
New Young Pony Club - Marlon JD
The Horrors - Doors Closing Slowly
Errors - All Is Vanity
Four Tet - Pretension/Repulsion
F*** Buttons - Virginia State Epileptic Colony
Underworld - William's Last Words
Jonathan Krisp - Bag Lady
Manic Street Preachers released 'Journal For Plague Lovers' this week.
