The Chemical Brothers have had a busy day today with news of a new single, an album reissue and the biggest headline UK show of their career.
First up, the reissue is of their third album Surrender on its 20th anniversary, the deluxe version of the 1999 album set to come with a previously unreleased ‘Secret Psychedelic’ mix, a selection of remixes and a DVD of restored promo videos and their Glastonbury 2000 performance.
The landmark headline gig, meanwhile, has been booked to close the duo’s November UK tour and will take place at the O2 Arena in London on November 30th. Finally, the new single is Eve Of Destruction, taken from the recent No Geography album – one which ‘could make you land just about anywhere‘ according to Live4ever’s review:
“Sometimes though the act is just enough no matter how little its meaning is for anyone else; on Got To Keep On the pair slip straight through into an alternative Balearic dimension that the pealing bells, frothing, happy hour synths and delirious sense of positivity makes into a playground for smiles, proving nirvana is in you forgetting your like count for good.”
“That’s what dancing teaches you, if you listen hard enough and are prepared to grab the accelerant, lessons that conditioning simply can’t suffocate. The Chemical Brothers have lit the fuse.”
