While She Sleeps Announce You Are We Special Edition

While She Sleeps have announced the release of You Are We Special Edition, an expansion of their 2017 Top 10 album.

The record, due out on July 20 via Sleeps Brothers, will include the original 11 LP tracks, as well as an additional eight unheard tunes, including songs recorded at the metallers' show at London's St Pancras Old Church last year. Pre-order it now here.

“We feel that You Are We demonstrated such a special connection between us and our fans so we wanted to give them the chance to receive as much content as possible from the campaign,” says guitarist Sean Long. “We, even as a 'heavy' band, have always had a strong love for acoustic and stripped backed songs so it made sense to finally realise some of our songs in this way. The St Pancras show was so much out of our comfort zone that it made the night electric.

“Lost Ideas is something people never get to hear yet I think it’s so pure and interesting. It’s from the absolute beginning of the writing process and you get to hear the essence of some of our biggest songs in their simplest and most organic form. It also includes some natural ideas that never made it into any of the songs on You Are We itself. This is something I would have loved to hear from my favourite artists over the years so I’m happy we are giving our fans this chance.”
