The capsule is available in several formats including MP3, CD/ DVD (dual disc) and 12" vinyl in limited quantities for a limited time.

And in January the band bring their UK fans New Blood and Deeper Cuts, a set list that will consist of the band’s new material such as ‘Every Man and Woman Is A Star’, ‘Embers’ and debuting previously unrecorded material, as well as  tracks that have never/rarely been played.
