Supergrass by Tom Oxley
It’ll be released by Supergrass on August 25th.
Supergrass have announced an expanded re-release of their 2002 fourth studio album Life On Other Planets.
In their grand tradition, the record featured wonderful pop singles such as Grace, Seen The Light and Rush Hour Soul, those on this reissue package along with rarities, B-sides and live recordings.
It’s just the latest chapter of the band’s reunion which began not far from Glastonbury back in 2019, after which we saw them at the real thing last year.
“After their set there was a ferocious bottleneck of people entering the West Holts area for TLC, but the negotiation of a scary few minutes was made worth it by Supergrass on the Other Stage,” our review reads.
After announcing their reformation at the Pilton Party in 2019, their reunion tour was curtailed by the pandemic. However, any spark or momentum that may have been lost through inactivity remains undimmed as the best singles act of the Britpop generation delivered the goods, from the fuzz-punk opener of Caught By The Fuzz to the sedate St Petersburg from 2005.
“At the tail end of the first phase of their career, the Oxford lads were derided as mid-afternoon festival staples, yet now it’s a badge they wear with pride as they made an early claim for ‘most hits-packed set’.”
