This news follows January 2023, when the group released their first new music in 24 years, unveiling a “nothing” lighting single to mark their comeback.

Main Singles and New Album

This single became the lead for their new studio album titled “Fuse,” which was accompanied by additional tracks including “Caution to the Wind” and “Run a Red Light.”

After announcing their return in April 2023, the group confirmed that they would be taking the stage for their first live performances in a quarter century.

In a post on Twitter/X, they announced that next month they will perform at an intimate London venue for two concerts. The shows will feature singer Tracy Thorne and multi-instrumentalist Ben Watt, along with Rex Horan on bass, with tickets already sold out.

“Hello everyone. We play two shows at the Moth London club on April 6 and 7,” they shared in their update. “It’s just us two, with Rex Horan on bass. There are no club gangsters, just a cold folk atmosphere. Tickets were offered to the UK mailing list today at 9 am. We hope to do more soon.

Legacy and Future Plans

The indie-electronic duo released 10 albums before their breakup in 2000, with their last album prior to the reunion being 1999’s *Tempramental*.

Their most acclaimed record was *Wounded Wounded* in 1996, and they also achieved success with hits like “Wrong” and Todd Terry’s remix of “Missing.” After their split, Tracy Thorne pursued a solo career and worked as a writer, while Ben Watt became an international DJ, remixer, solo artist, and label owner.

Speaking with NME about their return, Watt remarked: “We have never been a particularly nostalgic group – we have always known that each time we made different notes. Sometimes this meant going against the mainstream, but we just try to engage ourselves and keep things modern.”

“We aimed to return with something that sounds contemporary,” he added. “We’re not on the heritage path, doing ‘best of’ tours or playing in arenas. We just wanted to create music that feels exciting in 2023. That was our goal.”

After its release, *Fuse* received a glowing four-star review from NME, which described it as “extremely satisfying.”

“In addition to releasing this project, the group has been intentionally vague about their upcoming shows, but the impact of their return with *Fuse* speaks volumes,” the review stated. “This is a rare case of reunion among collaborators – as partners, parents, and creators – illustrating the significant influence music has had on the landscape that followed while also allowing them to savor this moment while it lasts.”
