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.

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

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