St Jude Re: Wired

2018 release. Courteeners mark the 10th anniversary of their debut album with a newly recorded and unplugged version of the seminal record - St. Jude Re:Wired - produced by Liam and Joe Cross. Liam says: We were looking for a way to mark the 10 year anniversary of the release of St. Jude we thought it might be worth at least raising a little glass to celebrate the fact that were still here. Id been out on an acoustic tour this autumn, re-working and revisiting tunes from the back catalogue, stripping them back, bigging them up and experimenting with some different interpretations. The string section were incredible and unknowingly nudged me into unlocking something special. I loved revisiting all the old songs and putting a new twist on them. So, the day after the final date of my solo tour, I gingerly prized myself out of bed, booked a studio, rang the band, brought in some string-players and we re-did St. Jude in a few days. And it sounds fucking brilliant!
