Description:

These New Puritans reissue their masterpiece "Hidden," a 2010 NME Best Album of the Year, with new songs and live recordings! British art-rock band These New Puritans is celebrating the 10th anniversary of their masterpiece "Hidden" with the release of "Hidden [MMXX]"! The album features new and unreleased songs from the "Hidden" sessions, as well as live recordings from the same period. At the time of its release, Hedi Slimane hooked up with the band and provided music for the Dior show, and the band themselves appeared as models, attracting attention in the fashion world, winning the NME's 2010 Album of the Year award and receiving rave reviews in other media. Hidden" was a true symbol of its time. It embraces dancehall and 20th century post-minimalist rhythms, and features Japanese drums, a 13-piece brass and woodwind ensemble, heavy beats, piano, and even a children's choir. The result is a one-of-a-kind sound that is equal parts ferocious and melancholy, and even 10 years later it continues to shine as a milestone in music history.
