In Our Heads is available in a selection of formats, including a limited double vinyl set that comes with an exclusive one-sided 7” featuring Doctor, a track recorded with Neil Michael Hagerty of Royal Trux and Steel Harmony (who were behind the incredible steel band version of Joy Division’s Transmission). The cover for the 7” features exclusive artwork by the Turner Prize winning artist Jeremy Deller. Click HERE to order In Our Heads.
