So, as you all know by now, we were right when we said we’re all just bricks in the wall. Also, we were right when we said the big surprise alluded to by Team JoFo last week was the remix EP, which as you can see from the art above seems to have an alternate [...]

As we posted about earlier this week, there’s a surprise coming later today, after midday (GMT) to be exact, and we’re pretty confident that it’ll be in the form of a 7-track remix EP of songs from upcoming album Grace and the Bigger Picture. Why are we so sure? Well, we have no insider scoop [...]
