To celebrate the 15th\u00a0anniversary of his Mercury-prize winning debut ‘The Hour of Bewilderbeast,’ Badly Drawn Boy<\/span>\u00a0(aka Damon Gough) is re-releasing a new deluxe version of the album, including bonus unheard tracks and new artwork. Remember him? He always wore his\u00a0tea cosy hat. A film about the making of the album will be released in the spring.<\/p>\n

The re-release follows this summer\u2019s UK tour, where\u00a0Gough\u00a0played the classic album in its entirety for the first time ever, to sell-out crowds including The Barbican and Manchester\u2019s Bridgewater Hall.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an album that I\u2019m extremely proud of,\u201d<\/em> says\u00a0Damon, \u201cand it\u2019s the album that people will mention if they stop me in the street, or come up to me in a bar. It\u2019s an album that struck a chord with a lot of people, and still means a lot to them\u2026 which is what you\u2019re aiming to do with music.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Released in May 2000 to widespread acclaim, ‘The Hour of Bewilderbeast’\u00a0beat other shortlisted nominees including Coldplay, Doves, Leftfield and Richard Ashcroft to that year\u2019s Mercury Music Prize. ‘The Hour of Bewilderbeast’ went platinum and Damon was then asked to write the soundtrack the film of Nick Hornby\u2019s book\u00a0‘About A Boy,’ which became a huge hit. He went on to release eight studio albums over 12 years, before taking a break over the last couple of years, and now he\u2019s back with a fresh focus.<\/p>\n

Andy Votel has updated his classic ‘The Hour of Bewilderbeast’ artwork, loosely based on Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s\u00a0Vitruvian Man<\/i>, for the rerelease. \u201cI\u2019m very fond of the cover,\u201d<\/em> says\u00a0Damon. \u201cIt sums up the time as much as the music does. The gatefold vinyl will have the original artwork and when you open it up there\u2019s a new version which reflects everything that\u2019s happened in the last 15 years.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
