We're Here Because We're Here - 10th Anniversary Edition OUT NOW! Click here for bundles & tickets; including the new digital version of the album and original physical versions: -------------------- Anathema celebrate the 10th Anniversary of their iconic ‘We’re Here Because We’re Here’ album by re-issuing it digitally with 4 new “2020 Lockdown Version” tracks. With plans to take the album on the road for a series of exclusive anniversary shows throughout Europe delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the band were fortunate that the license term for ‘We’re Here Because We’re Here’, with which they exploded back into action with a multi-coloured, multi-layered work of unbridled emotion, passion and intensity after a 6 year absence, had expired. As such they’re in a position with rights reverted to self-release Classic Rock’s ‘Prog Album of the Year 2010’ on their own We’re Here Records imprint, and fully control how they celebrate what is an integral part of the bands journey so far with fans. On the new versions recorded for the release, Vincent Cavanagh says; “I’ve always welcomed the idea that a song can have more than one incarnation of itself, each as musically valid as the next. As long as one retains the essence of meaning behind the song then it’s not only valid but an intriguing process to revisit and reimagine well-established work. These lockdown versions are completely new recordings. The extraordinary circumstances of the past couple of months have afforded me the time and space to see these songs under a different light. All of them are vastly different from the original versions. I’ve had fun making them and I hope you enjoy“. Talking about the tour Danny Cavanagh says; “We never usually do anniversary tours of particular albums, but in the case of ‘We’re Here Because We’re Here,’ which is the album that began our rebirth, we feel this is something we want to do. What I love about this album and that time in our journey is the life affirming qualities in the music. It’s an album of hope, reflection, of summer, of an intense uplifting emotion“. Tracklist: 1.
