Now, the Nottingham noise duo have now dropped an expanded version of the album, featuring nine never-before-released tracks.

All the songs were written at the same time as the original tracklist, but remained as unreleased demos until now.

New releases include ‘Cato’ – another song with Sue Tompkins, who also featured on previous single ‘No Touch’.

It didn’t make it onto the record as the duo didn’t think it fit with the rest of the songs, but did remain on hold as the duo liked it enough to declare that the Life Without Buildings frontwoman “could join the band”.

“It was so brilliant to be asked to do another song with Jason and Andrew,” Tompkins shared.

“I thought the song was very catchy – and throbby! It’s got a pace and a relentlessness about it, and singing opposite Jason almost feels like a duet.

He sings, then I sing.

It goes back and forth, all the while with Andrew’s throbby music underneath.

The panic of ‘Cato’ about to spring out!” Check it out above, along with a new music video directed by Tompkins.

Other new tracks include an alternative version of ‘The Good Life’, which includes different lyrics and was recorded before Gwendoline Christie added her explosive vocals, ‘The Return Of The Bin White Dukes’, which the duo describe as the precursor to ‘Don Draper’ and energetic punk track ‘Give Em What They Want’ which the duo liked but didn’t think fit with the rest of the album.

“I guess it’s like a curry, it always tastes better the next day,” said Williamson of the songs that didn’t make the album.

“You listen to these tracks in the studio, and you don’t think it fits.
