The band worked with producer Chris Sheldon, who produced the original <strong>Troublegum<\/strong> album as well as working on <em>Semi-Detached, High Anxiety <\/em>and the band\u2019s latest record <strong><em>Cleave<\/em>,<\/strong> to record the 12-track album that includes all their UK hits including <em>Screamager<\/em> and a reworking of <em>Diane<\/em>; Featuring James Dean Bradfield of Manic Street Preachers on one track, the band reflect on their great time touring and growing as a band over the past thirty years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Vocalist Andy Cairns comments on the release:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Distilling the essence of what makes Therapy? what we are isn\u2019t easy. Anyone familiar with the 30 years of the band\u2019s history and numerous releases will be aware we have a broad range of musical taste and we\u2019ve never been a band easily pigeon-holed. Putting together a representative package would be a nightmare and would likely involve a box set. In the end we decided to go for a take on the Greatest Hits format only and instead of compiling the tracks from previous releases we thought it would make things more current if we went into the famous Abbey Road studios and worked with the legendary producer, Chris Sheldon, a friend who has collaborated with us successfully over the decades. The Greatest Hits are just that. Our twelve most successful top 40 UK singles.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>We\u2019re proud of these songs and are excited by how fresh they still sound today.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>We hope these tracks will comfort those already familiar with them, remind estranged friends that it\u2019s time they got back in touch and show younger listeners how a bunch of misfits use chaos and melody to get through life and its toughest challenges. Timeless rock songs recorded in a magical studio by an icon of music production. What more do you want?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Therapy? has never stopped moving in our 30 years and are always writing and ready for the next phase but in 2020 we\u2019d love everyone to join in our celebrations of three decades of noise and adversity.
