Sweden's post-punk/goth icons Then Comes Silence will release Boxed EP, a seven-song digital EP featuring a collection of the band's outtakes and versions. Consisting of two songs in Spanish, two instrumentals, two remixes and one outtake from Then Comes Silence's 2022 album, Hunger, the tracks were originally included as part of a sold-out box set version of that release.
The reissue comes after the band's upcoming second US tour to promote Trickery - its magnificent seventh album released in April 2024. A further set of dates in mainland Europe has also been announced (see below), while the autumn will see a return to the UK for festival and club shows.
Also, Then Comes Silence has shared a lyric video for the "Feel The Cold" track. "On my final journey, I aim to be prepared and look sharp, which is what this song is about", states the band's frontman Alex Svenson. "The last photograph of David Bowie on the hospital roof, taken just days before his passing, has inspired me. He remained elegant until the end." Link
